The answer is the second one (or B): sodium.

Explanation for each option:

  • Sugar: While excessive sugar intake can lead to various health issues such as obesity and diabetes, it is not directly linked to hypertension in children.
  • Sodium: Excessive intake of sodium is a well-known risk factor for hypertension. High sodium levels can cause the body to retain water, which increases blood pressure. This is true for both adults and children.
  • Caffeine: While caffeine can temporarily raise blood pressure, it is not typically a primary cause of chronic hypertension in children.
  • Potassium: Potassium actually helps to lower blood pressure by balancing out the negative effects of sodium. Therefore, excessive potassium intake is not associated with hypertension.

Summary: Hypertension in children may result from excessive intake of sodium.
