Correct answer: D — Sustained blood pressure of 140/90 mmHg

The best answer is “Sustained blood pressure of 140/90 mmHg”. NICE recommends offering antihypertensive treatment in pregnancy for chronic hypertension when blood pressure is sustained at 140/90 mmHg or higher. Severe hypertension requires urgent treatment, but waiting for a severe range would not follow the routine treatment threshold.
