Final answer:
Right heart failure is most characteristic of option B: JVD, peripheral edema, and hepatic engorgement.
Step-by-step explanation:
Right heart failure is most characteristic of option B: JVD, peripheral edema, and hepatic engorgement.
Right heart failure occurs when there is a rise in the pressure in the vena cavae and a drop in pressure in the arteries to the lungs. This leads to symptoms such as jugular venous distention (JVD), peripheral edema, and hepatic engorgement.
These symptoms occur because the right side of the heart is unable to effectively pump blood, causing fluid to accumulate and back up in the venous system.
