Prolonged exposure to extreme cold can lead to hypothermia.
Symptoms of hypothermia include shivering, slurred speech, slow breathing, lack of coordination and confusion.

Answer:

This:

Step-by-step explanation:

Long term exposure to extreme cold could induce hypothermia, overworking of the heart and other major organs. Best example could be those who die in extreme cold locations. Their bodies overwork to keep blood flowing and the heart pumping but hypothermia prevents them from fully recovering and could lead to death
