Answer:

The correct answer would be repeated severe injuries because of pain insensitivity.

Explanation:

Congenital analgesia is a genetic disease that causes an individual to have no pain or pain insensitivity. This lack of pain leads to an accumulation of bruises, wounds, broken bones, and other health problems that may go undetected.

These injuries often lead to a short life expectancy in people with congenital analgesia to pain.

Thus, the correct answer would be repeated severe injuries because of pain insensitivity.
