The answer is the fourth one: electrolyte imbalance.

Explanation for each option:

  1. Hypertension: This is not a common complication directly associated with vomiting. Hypertension refers to high blood pressure, which is not typically caused by vomiting.
  2. Stroke: While severe dehydration and electrolyte imbalances can potentially lead to serious conditions, a stroke is not a direct complication of vomiting.
  3. MI (Myocardial Infarction): A heart attack is not a direct complication of vomiting. However, severe dehydration and electrolyte imbalances can stress the cardiovascular system, but they do not directly cause an MI.
  4. Electrolyte imbalance: This is a common complication of vomiting. Vomiting can lead to the loss of essential electrolytes such as sodium, potassium, and chloride, which can disrupt the body's normal functions.

Summary: Vomiting can lead to dehydration and electrolyte imbalance, making the fourth option the correct answer.
