B. widowed people are at an increased risk of death in the week following their partner's death.

Explanation:

Psychologists have found the relationship between the condition of stress and widowhood. The widowhood effect is the increase in the probability of losing the life of an individual after the death of his or her life partner. Researches have shown that the common effect of widowhood includes fear, depression, and stress.
