B. Stress, anxiety, and sleep difficulties

Explanation:

Stress, anxiety, and difficulty sleeping are the main factors that hinder good academic performance, according to studies taking part in a national survey aimed at uncovering the key factors that lead young students to poor academic performance. Stress, anxiety and difficulty sleeping, reduce the ability to reason, disposition and critical thinking, and bring several health problems, including depression. These three elements affect the lives of students and non-students, so it is necessary for all people to prioritize their mental health, not only for good academic performance, but for a better quality of life.
