karen has started using dangerous street drugs. she insists that she knows what those drugs normally do to the body, but you suspect there may be additives in the substances she is getting. what might karen be risking, in addition to the problems she is already expecting to face? (1 point)
a. asthma
b. clogged blood vessels
c. sexually transmitted diseases
d. bronchitis

Explanation:

When using street drugs, especially if injected (a common route for some street drugs), sharing needles or engaging in risky sexual behaviors associated with drug use can lead to sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). Asthma, clogged blood vessels, and bronchitis are not typically direct additional risks from unknown additives in street drugs in the same way STDs are related to the behaviors associated with drug use. So the most probable additional risk here is sexually transmitted diseases.

Answer:

Sexually transmitted diseases (the option with the text "Sexually transmitted diseases")
