Ans:
C

Feedback:

Obesity, excess alcohol consumption, and a sedentary lifestyle are all linked with hypertension. Inadequate, rather than excessive, potassium intake is thought to be causative, and while race and family influence an individual's predisposition to hypertension, it does not render the condition untreatable or uncontrollable. Diabetes is thought to be a contributor to hypertension, not vice versa.
