The correct answer is c. cerebrovascular disease.
Cerebrovascular disease refers to a group of conditions that affect the blood supply to the brain and if the brain cells don’t get enough oxygen, brain damage can result. Factors that increase the risk of cerebrovascular disease and stroke , like diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and smoking also have an influence on vascular dementia development.
