Explanation:

High - glucose levels are mainly related to diabetes, not directly to hypertension, heart disease and stroke. These conditions have both genetic and lifestyle factors, but lifestyle (diet and exercise) can significantly impact the risk. They are related, and reducing the risk of one can often reduce the risk of others. Diet and exercise can lower the risk of developing hypertension, heart disease and stroke by improving blood pressure, cholesterol levels and overall cardiovascular health.

Answer:

C. The risk of developing each condition can be reduced through diet and exercise.
