• B. Consumption of excessive vitamins
• C. Consumption of excessive minerals

Answer 1

The correct option is D

Consumption of excessive fatty foods

Cholesterol is a form of fat. Besides obtaining it form the food, the body also produces cholesterol. If a person is suffering from high cholesterol in his blood, it is due to the consumption of excessive fatty foods. If the level of cholesterol becomes high, it adheres to the inner walls of the blood vessels and prevents blood flow. This leads to cardiac diseases.
