Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Obstructive sleep apnea contributes to hypertension by causing repeated episodes of hypoxia, sympathetic nervous system activation, and increased vascular resistance. High potassium intake helps lower blood pressure, HDL of 70 mg/dL is protective, and benazepril treats hypertension, not causes it.
