on the basis of the graph, in what year did china call off the great leap forward?
1958
1959
1960
1961

Explanation:

The graph shows death rates peaked in 1960, then dropped sharply in 1961. The Great Leap Forward's policies were halted when the crisis became clear, and historical records confirm the program was called off in 1961 as death rates began to decline, reflecting a shift away from the policies that caused the spike.

Answer:

1961
