Solution

The correct option is C Atherosclerosis
Atherosclerosis is a condition where the arteries become narrowed and hardened due to a buildup of plaque around the artery wall. When the arteries become narrowed and hardened it results in the decreased supply of oxygen to the heart tissue which results in acute chest pain. Thus acute chest pain is associated with the cardiovascular disorder called atherosclerosis.
So, the correct answer is 'Atherosclerosis'.
