c) Atherosclerosis

Explanation:

Atherosclerosis refers to the buildup of plaque (cholesterol, fats and other substances) in and on the walls of the arteries, this results to restricted flow of blood.

It is the most common cause of peripheral arterial problems in the older adults. It is often classed as disease of aging because increase in age is an independent risk factor for the development of atherosclerosis. In other words, as one grows older the risk of atherosclerosis increases. As one ages, lifestyle factors or genetics can cause plaque to build up in the arteries.

c) Atherosclerosis

Explanation:

The is the most common cause of peripheral arterial problems in which aging is the main independent risk factor for its development. It is due to loss of cell growth (cellular senescence which increases with age) of endothelial lining of the capillaries and that of the coronary arteries. Cellular senescence refers to loss of growth by the body cells from the age of 20yrs till death, and it has been proved to promotes deposition of plaque, and narrowing of blood vessels associated with atherosclerosis.

However coronary thrombosis,Arteriosclerosis,and Raynaud's disease are all independent of the age of the a subject.Thus A is the correct answer.

I’ve personally felt invisible all my life, especially when a friend turned out to be fake and didn’t seem to take any type of interest in what i said or any type of input i said. being invisible is a terrifying feeling to experience due to the fact you feel like no one sees you and just sees you (sorry if that doesn’t make sense). it’s like a deep emptiness that no one can fill, just you; you have to fix that emptiness by yourself and you don’t really want , or in some cases want to be invisible. i can see many invisible people when they intentionally stay away from people that can potentially hurt them in any way. also, when a person intentionally breaks off a connection so they aren’t seen by people.hope it
