Answer

The answer is unintentional injury.

Explanation
Option 1: Cancer

While cancer is a significant cause of death, it is more prevalent in older age groups rather than early adulthood.

Option 2: Unintentional injury

Unintentional injuries, such as car accidents, falls, and drug overdoses, are the leading cause of death for individuals in early adulthood. This age group often engages in higher-risk behaviors, leading to a higher incidence of accidental deaths.

Option 3: Stroke

Strokes are more common in older adults and are not a leading cause of death in early adulthood.

Option 4: Heart disease

Heart disease is a leading cause of death overall but is more common in middle-aged and older adults rather than those in early adulthood.
