Solution

The correct option is A Artificial hypoxia
Hypoxia is the condition of oxygen deficiency and on high altitudes due to the presence of less oxygen the tissue is deprived of oxygen which results in vomiting, uneasiness etc and can be overcome by the adequate supply of oxygen. It is also known as mountain sickness.
So, the correct option is 'Artificial hypoxia'
