Answer: C: Post neonatal moality 
Explanation: Ans. C: Post neonatal moality Early neonatal moality refers to a death of a live-born baby within the first seven days of life, while late neonatal moality covers the time after 7 days until before 28 days. The sum of these two represents the neonatal moality. Some definitions of the PNM include only the early neonatal moality. Neonatal moality is affected by the quality of in-hospital care for the neonate. Neonatal moality and postneonatal moality (covering the remaining 11 months of the first year of life) are reflected in the Infant Moality Rate
