In Rubaria, excellent health care is available to virtually the entire population, whereas very few people in Terland receive adequate medical care. Yet, although the death rate for most diseases is higher in Terland than in Rubaria, the percentage of the male population that dies from prostate cancer is significantly higher in Rubaria than in Terland.
Which of the following, if true, most helps to explain the disparity between the prostate cancer death rate in Rubaria and Terland?
A. Effective treatment of prostate cancer in its early stages generally requires medical techniques available in Rubaria but not in Terland.
B. Most men who have prostate cancer are older than the average life expectancy for male inhabitants of Terland.
C. Being in poor general health does not increase one’s risk of developing prostate cancer.
D. It is possible to decrease one’s risk of getting prostate cancer by eating certain kinds of foods, and such foods are more readily available in Rubaria than in Terland.
E. Among men in Rubaria, the death rate from prostate cancer is significantly higher for those who do not take full advantage of Rubaria’s health care system than for those who do.
It's B.
option B suggests that Terland 's healthe care condition is so poor that most men die before they reach the age susceptable of prostate cancer. while in Rubaria... men live longer and thus more men get prostate cancer.

r国的医疗条件比t国好，但是虽然大多数致命疾病的死亡率在t国更高，但是死于p疾病的男性居民比率r国要比t国高。让我们解释这个现象。

在p疾病的早期有效的治疗技术r国有，但是t国没有。
B. Most men who have prostate cancer are older than the average life expectancy for male inhabitants of Terland.
大多患p疾病的男子年龄都超过了t国的男子的平均年龄。
C. Being in poor general health does not increase one’s risk of developing prostate cancer.
在医疗条件差的国家不会增加患p病的机率。
D. It is possible to decrease one’s risk of getting prostate cancer by eating certain kinds of foods, and such foods are more readily available in Rubaria than in Terland.
p疾病可以由吃某种食物降低患病可能性，r国的人更可能吃到这种食物。
E. Among men in Rubaria, the death rate from prostate cancer is significantly higher for those who do not take full advantage of Rubaria’s health care system than for those who do.
在r国的男子，p疾病的死亡率在那些没有充分利用医疗系统的人里面要更高。
是这样的，死亡男子/患病男子这个比率，r国要高，说明r国的死亡人数要多。而b里面，说t国男子由于医疗条件的原因，平均年龄小，很年轻就死了，就根本没有得这个病的机会，所以，这个病的死亡率自然就小了。
用排除法也可以得到答案。
请指教，谢谢~~
