Cirrhosis of the liver is a risk factor for the development of sleep apnea.

The most common type of sleep apnea is central sleep apnea.

Sleep apnea causes airflow through the mouth and nose to stop for at least 10 seconds.

Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is D

A. Cirrhosis of the liver is a risk factor for the development of sleep apnea. Cirrhosis is not a known risk factor for sleep apnea. Risk factors include obesity, large neck circumference, and smoking.
B. People who have sleep apnea fall asleep uncontrollably throughout the day. This describes narcolepsy, not sleep apnea. Sleep apnea may cause daytime sleepiness but not uncontrollable sleep attacks.

D. Sleep apnea causes airflow through the mouth and nose to stop for at least 10 seconds. This is the correct definition of sleep apnea.
