Answer to Question 1

D
Sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) is the sudden, unexpected death of a previously healthy infant. It is the leading cause of death in infants over 1 month of age. Most deaths caused by SIDS occur by 6 months. The child is often found huddled in the corner of a disheveled bed, with blankets over the head. Deaths caused by SIDS are not predictable or preventable.

Answer to Question 2

C
Gerontology is the study of the effects of normal aging and age-related disease on human beings.
