Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
Native Americans have higher rates of alcoholism and alcohol-related deaths compared to Anglo Americans, as a result of the historical trauma and various social and economic factors contributing to their disproportionate alcohol consumption. While heart disease and cancer are still leading causes of death for both Native Americans and Anglo Americans, alcohol-related deaths are more prominent among Native Americans in this comparison.
