Solution

The correct option is A insufficient oxygen supply to tissues
Hypoxia is a condition where tissues fail to receive an adequate supply of oxygen. For the normal functioning of the brain, it requires a constant supply of oxygen. If there is any obstruction in this supply of oxygen to the brain, then it leads to hypoxia.
