which of the following accurately describes the most common causes of death in stage 2 of the epidemiological transition?

1 cancer and obesity related illness
2 malnutrition and warfare
3 pandemics and high infant mortality
4 heart attack and strokes
5 multi system failure due to advanced age

The most accurate answer is 2: malnutrition and warfare. In stage 2 of the epidemiological transition, the main causes of death are typically related to poor nutrition and access to healthcare, leading to malnutrition and increased susceptibility to infectious diseases. Additionally, warfare and violence can also contribute to higher mortality rates in this stage.
