Answer:
The correct response is Option B: A death-deferral phenomenon.
Explanation:
The study results regarding death deferral and Christmas suggest that people held off on dying until after Christmas because this is an important family holiday and it is suggested that people hold off on dying on such days. There has also been an examination of data regarding the death-deferral phenomenon regarding birthdays. There seems to be an association with fewer people dying in the six months leading up to their birthday than the six months after their birthday. These patterns, however, are hard to prove as being the result of a person's will to live in a systematic way. 
 
        
             
        
        
        
Explanation:
 Long before the need for sustainable development became widely recognised, the late Shaikh Zayed Bin Sultan Al Nahyan was achieving an environmental miracle: he was transforming the desert into a green haven.
Hamdi Tammam, in his book Zayed Bin Sultan Al Nahyan: The Leader and the March, wrote that the former president devoted much of his time making enquiries about the topography of the region.
After much research, Shaikh Zayed discovered that 15,000 years ago, the Arabian Peninsula was a very different place. Enveloped in thick forests and full of greenery, the land got transformed to a desert only after it was exposed to a long spell of drought that also forced its inhabitants to move in search of water. In time, the forests were buried and gradually transformed into the region's black gold or oil.
Shaikh Zayed charted a course to return the desert to its greener origins by increasing the number of trees, farms and palm orchards.
