Consumption of spicy foods and carbonated beverages may exacerbate symptoms in individuals with peptic ulcer disease, but they are not direct risk factors for developing the condition.

Choice B reason:

Regular consumption of yogurt and probiotics may promote gastrointestinal health, but they are not specifically risk factors for peptic ulcer disease.

Choice C reason:

Frequent use of antacids for heartburn relief may indicate underlying acid-related issues, but it is not a risk factor for peptic ulcer disease.

Choice D reason:

This statement is correct. Long-term use of NSAIDs is a well-established risk factor for peptic ulcer disease. NSAIDs can irritate the stomach lining and increase the risk of ulcer formation.
