Correct Answer: C

A diet high in fiber and low in fat is generally considered healthy, but it is not specifically associated with an increased or decreased risk of peptic ulcer disease.

Choice B reason:

Smoking and alcohol consumption are indeed risk factors for peptic ulcer disease. They can contribute to the development and exacerbation of ulcers.

Choice C reason:

This statement is correct. The use of NSAIDs, such as aspirin and ibuprofen, and Helicobacter pylori infection are well-established risk factors for peptic ulcer disease.

Choice D reason:

While stress and emotional factors may exacerbate peptic ulcer symptoms, they are not the primary cause of the condition. The primary causes are H. pylori infection and the use of NSAIDs.
