Solution:

The given data can be represented by using a bar graph as shown below:

1. We will represent the causes on the x-axis, maintaining equal widths for all bars and with equal gaps in between. One cause will be represented by one bar.
2. We will represent the fatality rate on the y-axis with a scale of one unit as 5% as the max value is 31.8%.

(i) The information in the table is represented graphically below:

(ii) Reproductive health conditions can be considered as the major cause of women’s ill health worldwide as it is the highest female fatality rate on y-axis as seen above.

(iii) The factors contributing to (ii) can be as follows:

1. Lack of awareness/knowledge about reproductive health.
2. Stigma in society about reproductive health-related topics.
