Solution

The correct option is B Heart
Atherosclerosis is a disease condition of the arteries, where the lumen of the arteries gets narrow because of deposition of lipids in the endothelial and mesothelial layers of the blood vessel. Prolonged deposition of lipids leads to hardening of the walls of these arteries and blood flow through the arteries is reduced. Thus, the correct answer is option B.
