D). Making misleading statements.

Explanation:

The practice regulated by the juice company would be categorized as 'making misleading statements' under Consumer Protection Laws as it 'falsely puts forward the claim that the drink sold by it reduces the incidents or cases of heart attacks'. Such statements are deceptive or misleading as it misdirects the readers to follow or adopt a forged product which could lead to disastrous or unwanted consequences. Thus, such practices are prohibited under 'Consumer Protection Laws' as these practices go against the interests of the consumers. Therefore, option D is the correct answer.
