Explanation:

To determine a controllable risk factor for disease, we analyze each option:

• Option A: Climate is an environmental factor that individuals generally cannot control on their own.
• Option B: Age is a biological factor that progresses naturally and is not controllable.
• Option C: Poverty is a complex socioeconomic issue that is not easily controllable by an individual alone.
• Option D: Sleep habits are behaviors that an individual can modify, such as adjusting bedtime, sleep duration, or sleep environment, making it a controllable risk factor as healthy sleep habits can impact disease risk (e.g., reducing the risk of obesity, diabetes, or mental health issues).
