Physical illness can cause insomnia.

The passage clearly states that chronic insomnia can result from a medical illness, indicating that physical health issues can contribute to difficulties in achieving restful sleep.

A) Physical illness can cause insomnia.

This option is correct as it directly reflects the information provided in the passage, which mentions that chronic insomnia can arise from a medical illness. This highlights the connection between physical health and sleep disorders.

This option is incorrect because the passage does not mention exercise or its effects on sleep quality. While exercise can improve sleep for some individuals, it is not discussed in the context of insomnia within the provided extract.

This option is also incorrect as the passage does not mention diet as a factor that prevents sleep disorders. The focus is primarily on sleep hygiene and non-pharmacological therapies, rather than dietary considerations.
