    The question is incomplete. The multiple options are as follows:

    turbulent blood flow around the plaque.

    increased pressure due to a loss of elasticity in the vessel wall.

    more resistance to flow due to a decrease in blood vessel diameter.

    All options are correct.

    Answer:

    All options are correct.

    Explanation:

    Blood is composed of the plasma and formed elements in the body. The formed elements consists of the red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets.

    The blood plasma consists of the proteins, antibodies and different types of chemicals. The excess level of cholesterol can cause the plaque formation that disrupt the proper blood flow. The plaque may result in the loss of elasticity and excess rigidity in the walls of blood vessels. The blood resistance flow increases and causes the lowering the diameter of blood vessels.

    Thus, all given options are correct.
