B. Incidence rate ratio
The incidence rate ratio is an example of a relative measure of disease frequency in epidemiological studies. Incidence rate ratio is also known as relative risk or risk ratio, it compares the risk of any health events among another group.
Incidence rate ratio is a very commonly used measure that is used to make a comparison between, controlled groups and diseased groups.
It compares between groups by dividing the incidence proportion and attack rate.

Incidence and prevalence rates can also be used to compare the rates of disease across different settings (places), people, or time. We therefore need measures of comparison. The ratio of two measures of disease frequency is called the relative risk. The difference between two measures of disease frequency is called the risk difference, or rate difference. In some cases, it involves a measure in an exposed group (or groups) and a measure in an unexposed or comparison group. In other...
