Thrombolytic therapy is avoided when bleeding risk is unacceptably high. The strongest reasons to withhold therapy are situations that massively raise the chance of intracranial or systemic bleeding: active bleeding or a known bleeding diathesis (not counting menses), and a history of intracranial hemorrhage. Severe uncontrolled hypertension also raises the risk of hemorrhagic transformation and is a common absolute contraindication when blood pressure remains above the threshold.

Mild, well-controlled hypertension, on the other hand, does not represent an absolute contraindication. Blood pressure can be managed to the target range before or during therapy, and such a level is not listed as a contraindication in the source material. So this option is the one that is NOT listed as a contraindication to thrombolytic therapy.
