Correct answer: C — Sympathomimetic hypertensive crisis
Monoamine-oxidase inhibition markedly potentiates indirect sympathomimetics such as pseudoephedrine and can precipitate severe hypertension, headache, arrhythmia or stroke. The decongestant should not be supplied; recommend an appropriate non-sympathomimetic approach and assess red-flag symptoms.
