The correct answer is the letter

B) Being overweight

Excess weight in humans can lead to many health problems and one of them can be risky to the heart. Being overweight can lead to the build-up of fatty material in the arteries that carries blood to the organ. If there is a clog in the arteries of the heart, it can result in a heart attack.
