    Correct Answer
    A. Over state line practice
    Explanation
    One current issue with telehealth is the restriction on practicing over state lines. This means that healthcare providers are only allowed to provide telehealth services to patients within their own state, which limits access to care for individuals who may be in need of specialized services that are not available in their state. Additionally, this restriction hinders the ability to provide telehealth services to patients who may be traveling or temporarily residing in a different state.
