Answer:

The correct answer is option d, that is, all of these.

Step-by-step explanation:

The diets high in sugar can lead to tooth decay and cavities. A sugar enriched diet also increases the threat of type 2 diabetes. Obesity that is generally caused by eating too much sugar is regarded as the strongest risk element for diabetes. Apart from obesity, a diet rich in sugar leads to high levels of triglyceride and inflammation, enhanced levels of blood pressure and blood sugar, all these factors can contribute to a greater threat of heart disease.
