The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding which vital organs can be harmed by high blood pressure, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding High Blood Pressure**: - High blood pressure, also known as hypertension, is the condition where the force of the blood against the artery walls is too high. This can lead to various health complications. 2. **Identifying Affected Organs**: - High blood pressure can affect several vital organs in the body. The organs that are most commonly impacted include: - **Heart**: High blood pressure can lead to heart disease, heart attack, or heart failure. - **Brain**: It can increase the risk of stroke and cognitive decline. - **Kidneys**: Hypertension can damage the blood vessels in the kidneys, leading to kidney disease. - **Lungs**: While high blood pressure can affect lung function indirectly, it is not as directly impacted as the other organs listed. 3. **Evaluating the Options**: - The question provides four options: - A - Heart - B - Brain - C - Kidneys - D - Lungs - Based on the understanding of how high blood pressure affects these organs, we can conclude that options A (Heart), B (Brain), and C (Kidneys) are significantly affected by high blood pressure. 4. **Final Answer**: - Therefore, the correct answer to the question is that high blood pressure can potentially harm the vital organs: **A (Heart), B (Brain), and C (Kidneys)**.
