Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
(d) Coronary heart disease is due to insuffiecient blood supply to the heart muscle. Main function of the coronary arteries is to supply oxygen and nutrients to the heart muscle and remove `CO_(2)` and other metabolic wastes. But due to narrowing and hardening of these arteries due to accumulation of fatty deposits, lead to clot formation and resulting in the blockage of blood supply to a part of heart. These includes angina pectoris, heart attack and rheumatic heart disease.
