Solution
The correct option is B Hypertension Hypertension is the term for high blood pressure when blood pressure is higher than normal (normal 120/80 mmHg). In this measurement 120 mm Hg (millimeters of mercury pressure) is the systolic, or pumping pressure and 80 mm Hg is the diastolic, or resting pressure. If repeated checks of blood pressure of an individual are 140/90 (140 over 90) or higher, it shows hypertension. High blood pressure leads to heart diseases and also affects vital organs like brain and kidney.
