To hypothesize that Costa Rica has a lower crude death rate than the United States, the most relevant option among those provided is:
**is in Stage 4 of the demographic transition.**
Countries in Stage 4 of the demographic transition typically have lower crude death rates due to factors like better healthcare, improved living conditions, and higher life expectancy. While the availability of hospitals and a milder climate might play roles in health outcomes, being in Stage 4 is more directly related to overall demographic health indicators, including lower death rates. The other options don't significantly support the hypothesis regarding crude death rates.
