Ductus Arteriosus is a blood vessel normally present in fetuses during development. The blood vessel is designed to bypass the pulmonary artery and brings blood to the Descending Aorta, as the fetus cannot breath through the lung (being as they are fluid filled). This is normally not a problem because oxygenated blood comes from the mother's blood supply.
Patent Ductus Arteriosus, is what happens when that vessel does not close. While not as dangerous as other congenital defects. However, because there is still a bypass, blood that normally need to be oxygenated by going through the pulmonary arteries to the lungs, can be diverted and placed into the blood stream without vital oxygen. This condition may eventually lead to CHF (congestive Heart Failure) and Pulmonary Hypertension if not treated.

The correct answer is option 4, that is, muscle cells require more energy, so they have more mitochondria in comparison to the skin cells.
Mitochondria are the powerhouse of the cells. The synthesis of ATP takes place in them, that is, the energy currencies of the cell. The cells of the muscles need to work hard and thus require ample energy, for this, they need more concentration of mitochondria to generate a high energy yielding ATPs.
