الإجابة: C. Dyslipidaemia
Diabetes is the 'worst' CAD risk factor, but it is not among the options. Of those listed, hyperlipidaemia (high LDL) is described as one of the most important risk factors for CAD, causing accelerated atherosclerosis. Hypertension is the most common risk factor, not the strongest; family history counts only if MI was premature (age not given), and obesity is a minor risk factor.

Family history counts as a risk factor only if premature (first-degree relative with MI or CAD before 55 in men, before 65 in women); the mother's age is not given.
