Solution

The correct option is B congestive heart failure because it involves the congestion of lungs
Heart failure is the condition in which the heart cannot pump the blood efficiently. This condition increases the pressure in the heart. This increase in pressure is transmitted to the lungs causing fluid retention in the interstitial tissues and the lungs. This condition is congestion. Congestion of lungs is one of the main symptoms in heart failure that is why it is also called congestive heart failure.
