Answer and Explanation

The Correct Answer is A

A. Daytime sleepiness, snoring, and obesity

These may lead to stress or insomnia but are not related to OSA.

C. Early morning awakening, shift work, and ADD
Could indicate circadian rhythm disorders or insomnia-not OSA.

D. Insomnia, inability to concentrate, and anemia
Anemia may cause fatigue, but not OSA-specific signs like snoring.
