Explanation:

- Let's break down the options for blank no. 5:

- Option 1: record – While "record" means to capture or store information, it doesn't fit in this context of health hazards. Noise doesn't typically "record" health issues.

- Option 2: cause – "Cause" means to give rise to something. Noise pollution can indeed lead to, or cause, health problems. This is the correct fit in the context.

- Option 3: mould – "Mould" can mean to shape or form, but it doesn't align well with causing health hazards in the passage.

- Option 4: target – While "target" implies aiming at something, it doesn’t logically fit in the sentence about noise and health risks.

- The sentence logically needs a word like "cause" to indicate that exposure to noise can lead to health issues.
