Answer:

The correct answer will be option D.

Explanation:

Statins are a class of drug provided in the medication to treat cardiovascular disease.

Statins act by reducing the amount of bad cholesterol called low-density lipoprotein (LDL) from blood, preventing the formation of cholesterol from the liver by blocking the enzyme and pathway of cholestrol synthesis and the degradation of the deposited cholestrol form the arterial walls which make the arteries narrow.

Thus, option D is the correct answer.
