The question is incomplete as it does not have the option which are-

A. Liquids as desired

B. Small, easily digested meals

C. Three regular meals per day

D. Nothing by mouth

Answer:

B. Small, easily digested meals.

Step-by-step explanation:

Myocardial infarction or heart attack is the medical condition in which the flow of the blood to the heart reduces.

The recommended diet prefered during this condition includes the more fruits and vegetables, plant oils as saturated fatty acids increase chances of a heart attack.

The recommended diet includes avoiding large meals during this period and should contain food material which could be easily tolerated and digested by humans. The diet by liquid is provided in severe cases.

Thus, Option-B is the correct answer.
