Solution

The correct option is B Atherosclerosis
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. Blood flow through the arteries is reduced as this leads to narrowing of the lumen of the blood vessel. Prolonged deposition of lipids leads to hardening of the walls of these arteries forming hard sclerotic plaques. The arterial walls become stiff loses the capacity to pump blood.
Thus, the correct answer is option B.
