Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
Reduced sleep can lead to impaired attention, coordination, and reaction time. This can affect daily activities such as driving or operating machinery, increasing risk of accidents. It can also impact cognition and memory. Hallucinations and night terrors are less likely consequences of reduced sleep than impaired attention and coordination. Anxiety symptoms could be a consequence, but it is not the most likely one based on the given information.
