B is incorrect because "mortality expectancy rate" is not a term used to describe infant mortality specifically, but rather the average number of years a person is expected to live based on mortality rates by age. D is incorrect because "total fertility rate" refers to the average number of children a woman is expected to have in her lifetime, not related to infant mortality.
