Obesity is one health risk that may be caused by sleep deficiency. Correct answer: B

"Obesity develops when energy intake is greater than expenditure. Lack of sleep also disrupts the balance of key hormones that control appetite, decreases the “calories burned” because people may be too tired to exercise.

Sleeping poorly can increase a person's risk of developing obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure or heart disease.
