Solution

The correct option is B HDL
Chylomicron remnants, VLDL, IDL, LDL, and Lp (a) are all pro-atherogenic, while HDL is anti-atherogenic.
High density lipoproteins (HDL): These particles play an important role in reverse cholesterol transport from peripheral tissues to the liver, which is one potential mechanism by which HDL may be anti-atherogenic.

So the answer is 'HDL'.
