a- a sedentary lifestyle and smoking.
b- a history of hemorrhoids and smoking.
c- alcohol abuse and a history of acute renal failure.
d- alcohol abuse and smoking.
Answer D.
Risk factors for peptic (gastric and duodenal) ulcers include alcohol abuse, smoking, and stress.
A sedentary lifestyle and a history of hemorrhoids aren’t risk factors for peptic ulcers.
