Solution

The correct option is B Inversely proportional
Coronary heart disease is a disease in which a waxy substance called plaque builds up inside the coronary arteries. These arteries supply oxygen-rich blood to the heart muscle.
HDL, high-density lipoproteins are complex particles which remove the harmful, bad cholesterol, i.e., it is the friendly scavenger which cruises the bloodstream. High HDL reduces the risk for coronary heart diseases. Hence, they are inversely proportional.
Therefore, the correct answer is option C.
