Correct Answer: Allergies can indirect


Solution : The correct choice is the third option.

Explanation : The phrase "can indirect" is grammatically incorrect. The adjective "indirect" should be converted to "indirectly", which is an adverb used to modify the verb. The sentence needs the adverb "indirectly" to convey the manner in which allergies can cause tiredness.

Therefore, the correct sentence would be: "Allergies can indirectly cause you to feel tired by robbing you of sleep."
