Answer :

To determine which country had the lowest death rate during WWI from the provided chart, we need to evaluate the percentage of the population column for each country.

Here are the percentages:
- Russia: [tex]\(1.1\% \)[/tex]
- France: [tex]\(1.5\% \)[/tex]
- UK: [tex]\(0.24\% \)[/tex]
- Italy: [tex]\(1.6\% \)[/tex]
- Serbia: [tex]\(5.7\% \)[/tex]
- US: [tex]\(0.1\% \)[/tex]

By comparing these percentages, we find:
- [tex]\( 1.1\% \)[/tex] for Russia
- [tex]\( 1.5\% \)[/tex] for France
- [tex]\( 0.24\% \)[/tex] for the UK
- [tex]\( 1.6\% \)[/tex] for Italy
- [tex]\( 5.7\% \)[/tex] for Serbia
- [tex]\( 0.1\% \)[/tex] for the US

Out of these percentages, [tex]\( 0.1\% \)[/tex] is the smallest.

Therefore, the country with the lowest death rate during WWI is the US.

So the correct answer is:
the US
