Answer:

Health problems are diseases and disorders that are very common in a particular population. Glaucoma is not one of the health problems currently plaguing America. Thus, option D is correct.

What is Glaucoma?

Glaucoma is a disorder that affects the eye and the optic nerve. It is caused due to the increase in the fluid in the eye that in turn, increases the eye pressure.

If it is not diagnosed and treated at the proper time may lead to complete vision loss. It is not a common health problem, unlike obesity, diabetes, and heart diseases, as it affects lesser people.

Therefore, Glaucoma is not a common health issue.
