Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
Car crashes are the most frequent cause of unintentional injury or death among young people, according to statistics from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Drownings are also a significant cause, but less frequent than car crashes. Suicides and homicides are intentional causes of injury or death and not considered unintentional.
