A	heart attack
B	heart failre
C	Either A or B
D	None of the above

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -Heart failure, also known as congestive heart failure, is a condition that develops when your heart doesn’t pump enough blood for your body’s needs. This can happen if your heart can’t fill up with enough blood. It can also happen when your heart is too weak to pump properly.

Detailed explanation-2: -Heart failure with reduced pumping ability: The heart muscle has become weaker, and no longer pumps enough blood around the body when it contracts (squeezes). As a result, the organs in the body don’t get enough oxygen. The medical term for this is “heart failure with reduced ejection fraction.”

Detailed explanation-3: -Heart failure means that the heart is unable to pump blood around the body properly. It usually happens because the heart has become too weak or stiff. It’s sometimes called congestive heart failure, although this name is not widely used now. Heart failure does not mean your heart has stopped working.
