Solution

The correct option is C Atherosclerosis
Atherosclerosis is also known as "hardening of the arteries," occurs when fat, cholesterol, and other substances like calcium build up in the walls of arteries. These deposits are called plaques. Over time, these plaques can narrow or completely block the arteries and cause problems throughout the body.
