Answer 1

Answer: (C)

no article / no article

An indefinite article is used when we are talking generally about something whereas a definite article is used when we are talking about something specific.

The indefinite articles are 'a' and 'an'. An is used before a word starting with a vowel or vowel sound. A is used before a word starting with a consonant or consonant sound.

A definite article is an article that tells the uniqueness of something.

'The' is the only definite article.

There won't come any article in the given blanks as 'high' and 'increased' are adjectives.

The correct answer is C) no article/no article.

It is not known whether high blood pressure is due to increased sodium intake.
