Correct Answer: 3
Rationale: Age, race, and hypertension lead to an increased risk for developing hypertension. Race and smoking are risk factors, but being female and younger decreases the overall risk. Age and obesity are risk factors, but not as much as age, black race, and hypertension. Asthma, by itself, is not considered a significant risk factor in the development of heart failure.
