When there is progressive narrowing of the vessels because of plaque formation on the innermost lining, this is known as:

Ischemia
Angina pectoris
Arteriosclerosis
Angioedema

Explanation

Answer: C - Arteriosclerosis is the buildup of plaque within the innermost lining of the vessels. This will cause a narrowing within the vessel and blood clots traveling through the vessels can get stuck. This will cause decreased or complete blockages of the vessel resulting in serious complications, such as stroke or heart attack.
