A
lipids
B
proteins
C
nucleic acids
D

Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -It is caused by a buildup of plaque in the inner lining of an artery. Plaque is made up of deposits of fatty substances, cholesterol, cellular waste products, calcium, and fibrin. As it builds up in the arteries, the artery walls become thickened and stiff.

Detailed explanation-2: -Clogged arteries result from a buildup of a substance called plaque on the inner walls of the arteries. Arterial plaque can reduce blood flow or, in some instances, block it altogether. Clogged arteries greatly increase the likelihood of heart attack, stroke, and even death.

Detailed explanation-3: -Role of lipids in the pathophysiology of atherosclerosis Because lipids are insoluble in plasma, circulating lipids are bound to lipoproteins and transported to various tissues where they are used for various functions including energy utilisation, synthesis of steroid hormones, and bile acid formation.

Detailed explanation-4: -A completely blocked coronary artery will cause a heart attack. The classic signs and symptoms of a heart attack include crushing chest pain or pressure, shoulder or arm pain, shortness of breath, and sweating. Women may have less typical symptoms, such as neck or jaw pain, nausea and fatigue.
