What is a Stroke
A
a blood-filled weak spot that ballons out from an artery wall
B
a sudden disruption of blood flow to part of the brain
C
life-threanening arrhythmia in which the heart twitches rapidly in an uncoordinated fashion
D
occurs when some of the tissue in the heart doesn’t receive its normal supply
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A stroke is a life-threatening condition that happens when part of your brain doesn’t have enough blood flow. This most commonly happens because of a blocked artery or bleeding in your brain. Without a steady supply of blood, the brain cells in that area start to die from a lack of oxygen.

Detailed explanation-2: -A stroke, also known as transient ischemic attack or cerebrovascular accident, happens when blood flow to the brain is blocked. This prevents the brain from getting oxygen and nutrients from the blood. Without oxygen and nutrients, brain cells begin to die within minutes.

Detailed explanation-3: -An ischemic stroke occurs when a blood vessel that supplies the brain becomes blocked or “clogged” and impairs blood flow to part of the brain. The brain cells and tissues begin to die within minutes from lack of oxygen and nutrients.

Detailed explanation-4: -Stroke is a sudden interruption of the blood supply to the brain. Most strokes are caused by an abrupt blockage of an artery (ischemic stroke). Other strokes are caused by bleeding into brain tissue when a blood vessel bursts (hemorrhagic stroke).
