A. MOOD

No....look at the subject of the clause and the subject of the sentence.

oh its person

The mood of the sentence is conditional. It implies that if someone smokes cigarettes, there is a possibility or risk of getting lung cancer.

To determine the mood of a verb, we need to understand the verb in the sentence. In this case, the verb is "smokes." The sentence "If one smokes cigarettes, you run the risk of getting lung cancer" is a conditional statement, expressing a hypothetical situation. The mood of the verb "smokes" in this sentence is indicative mood because it is stating a fact or making a statement about a real situation. The indicative mood is used to express real or factual information.
