Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
Insomnia can lead to chronic sleep loss, which can increase the risk of developing hypertension (high blood pressure). Lack of sleep can raise blood pressure, which over time can lead to hypertension. If Pam continues to suffer from insomnia, it could increase her risk of developing hypertension and other health issues that come with it.
