Correct answer: C

‍

Explanation: 

Menopause Hormone Therapy isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach. While MHT was once widely feared due to outdated studies, our medical understanding has evolved significantly in the past decade. Today, we know that MHT can be effective and safe—when prescribed to the right person, at the right time, in the right way.

That said, it’s not for everyone. There are some situations where MHT may not be appropriate, and others where it can be life-changing. The key is personalized care and proper screening.
