Solution

The correct option is D Angina pectoris
Angina pectoris is also called as angina. It is the sensation of chest pain, pressure, or squeezing, often due to ischemia (an inadequate blood supply to an organ or part of the body) of the heart muscle from obstruction or spasm of the coronary arteries. It occurs when the heart muscle doesn't get as much blood as it needs.
So, the correct answer is option C.
