The answer is the fourth one (D): HTN.

Explanation for each option:

  • HYP: This is not a standard abbreviation for hypertension. It could be confused with "hypo," which is often used as a prefix in medical terminology to indicate "under" or "below normal."

  • HTS: This is not a recognized abbreviation for hypertension. It does not correspond to any common medical abbreviation related to blood pressure.

  • HPT: This is not the correct abbreviation for hypertension. It might be confused with "hyperparathyroidism," which is sometimes abbreviated as HPT.

  • HTN: This is the correct abbreviation for hypertension. It is widely used in medical documentation to refer to high blood pressure.

In summary, the correct abbreviation for the term 'hypertension' is HTN.
