Answer:

The correct answer is option B.

Explanation:

Both atherosclerosis and arteriosclerosis refer to the diseases of the arteries, however, the cause of the conditions varies. In atherosclerosis, in the inner walls of the arteries, deposition of fats takes place, which builds up with time. These deposits of fats are known as plaques, and they generally originate due to bad lifestyle and eating habits.  

If the condition is not treated, it could result in strokes or heart attacks. On the other hand, arteriosclerosis refers to the condition in hardening of the walls of arteries takes place. This generally takes place in older adults and is an unavoidable condition.
