The correct answer would be C) atherosclerosis.

It refers to the gradual hardening and narrowing of the blood arteries due to the accumulation of fats and plaque.

It is mainly associated with smoking, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, stress and lack of physical activities.

It reduces or completely blocks the blood flow through arteries which can result in strokes, heart attack, peripheral vascular diseases, and cardiovascular diseases.
