Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
Problems in glucose metabolism can refer to both Type 1 diabetes and Type 2 diabetes, as well as one component of the metabolic syndrome which involves impaired glucose tolerance and insulin resistance. Therefore, the best choice is (d), as it includes both (a) and (b). It is not related to elevated blood pressure and elevated cholesterol alone, so (c) is not the correct answer.
