Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Figure 5.11 shows that the mortality risk of marmots increases with age, peaking around age 6 to 8 and then gradually decreasing until it reaches its lowest point in the age group of 10 to 15 years. Beyond 15 years of age, the mortality risk starts increasing again. Therefore, the lowest risk of mortality for marmots can be observed in the age group of 10 to 15 years.
