Acute allergic rhinitis can lead to various complications due to the inflammation and blockages caused by allergic reactions. Among the options provided, the most relevant complication is:

b. Sinusitis

Explanation:

• Hyposmia refers to a reduced ability to smell but is not typically considered a direct complication.
• Sinusitis occurs when the sinuses become inflamed due to prolonged nasal congestion associated with allergic rhinitis. This is the primary complication often encountered.
• Sleep apnea is not a direct complication of acute allergic rhinitis but can occur due to nasal obstruction in chronic cases.
• Nasal polyp formation can develop as a long-term consequence of chronic inflammation but does not typically arise directly from acute allergic rhinitis.

Therefore, the correct answer is b. Sinusitis.
