The answer is the third one: Ventricular hypertrophy.

Explanation for each option:

  1. AV block: This is a condition where the electrical conduction between the atria and ventricles of the heart is impaired. While hypertension can contribute to heart disease, AV block is not a direct complication of hypertension.

  2. Atrial fibrillation: This is an irregular and often rapid heart rate that can increase the risk of strokes, heart failure, and other heart-related complications. Hypertension is a risk factor for atrial fibrillation, but it is not a direct complication.

  3. Ventricular hypertrophy: This is the thickening of the walls of the ventricles (the heart's main pumping chambers). Hypertension forces the heart to work harder to pump blood, which can lead to ventricular hypertrophy. This is a direct and common complication of hypertension.

  4. Atrial atrophy: This refers to the wasting away or reduction in size of the atria. It is not a recognized complication of hypertension.

Summary: Ventricular hypertrophy is a direct and common complication of hypertension, making it the correct answer.

Chapter 15: "What Is Freedom?": Reconstruction, 1865-1877 15.3. What were the social and political effects of Radical Reconstruction in the South? Match the descriptions of white Republicans in the South during Reconstruction to the correct term. These northern whites relocated to the South after the Civil War. Southern whites believed they had come simply for economic gain. These southern whites supported the Republicans and had not supported secession or the Confederacy. These were wartime Unionists from the South who hoped Reconstruction governments would help them recover from wartime economic losses. Some were investors in land and railroads who saw the postwar South as an opportunity to combine personal financial gain with a role in helping to substitute "the civilization of freedom for that of slavery."
