Solution

The correct option is C Heart failure
When the heart is not able to pump efficiently, blood backs up into the veins that take blood through the lungs. As the pressure in these blood vessels increases, fluid is pushed into the air spaces (alveoli) in the lungs. This fluid reduces normal oxygen movement through the lungs. These two factors combine to cause shortness of breath in heart failure.
