Answer:

Explanation:

Coronary artery disease is caused by plaque buildup in the wall of the arteries that supply blood to the heart , called coronary arteries, Plaque is made up of cholesterol deposits. Plaque buildup causes the inside of the arteries to narrow over time. This process is called atherosclerosis. To fight back, the body sends white blood cells to trap the cholesterol, which then turn into foamy cells that ooze more fat and cause more inflammation. That triggers muscle cells in the artery wall to multiply and form a cap over the area.

Testicular cancer

Andre45 [30]

Answer:

c. none of the above

Explanation:

"Testicular cancer" is a cancer of the testicles. This is common among young males and rarely among men over 65. So, this makes choice b incorrect.

It is not the most common malignancy among men in the United States. The most common one is the "prostate cancer." So, this makes choice d incorrect.

It is not strongly related to a person's genes. Only a few people are diagnosed with testicular cancer owing to family history. Sometimes, it can also be caused by undescended testicles, a person's race, having an HIV infection, etc. So, this makes choice e incorrect.
