A
Atherosclerosis
B
Heart failure
C
Heart attack
D
Stroke
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Cerebral hypoxia is a neurological condition that happens when the brain doesn’t get enough oxygen, even though there is good blood flow.

Detailed explanation-2: -“Brain cells are very sensitive to a lack of oxygen. Some brain cells start dying less than 5 minutes after their oxygen supply disappears. As a result, brain hypoxia can rapidly cause severe brain damage or death.”

Detailed explanation-3: -The brain is an organ that cannot store oxygen, so blood vessels deliver oxygen through the blood. A lack of blood supply can cause a stroke, therefore causing surrounding nerve cells to be cut off from nutrients and oxygen. If the brain tissue lacks oxygen for more than three or four minutes, the tissue begins to die.
