QUESTION 2 [30 MARKS] Alzheimer's disease is the sixth leading cause of death in the USA, killing more people than breast cancer and prostate cancer combined. Furthermore, the disease mortality rate also has surged by 89% since the year of 2000. Alzheimer's disease or similar kind of dementia affects estimated 44 million individuals globally. As a result, several studies on this disease have been conducted. Table 1 below shows the sample data for Alzheimer's disease reported cases in the USA in 2010. As a statistician, you must represent the collected data in a sorted format for comparison purposes.

Develop the Merge Sort program with the implementation of Structure Array in C programming language to sort all data input by the user. The sorting must be in descending order to show from best to worst values. The output of this program is shown in Figure 5.
