Answer : D . chest pain

Explanation : The flow of oxygenated blood through a coronary artery is blocked by atherosclerosis and there is ischemia of the​ myocardium, the patient will experience acute angina syndrome which indicate Angina pectoris ( pain syndrome)
This includes acute ischemia of the myocardium (because of a blood clot or atherosclerosis blocking blood flow through a coronary artery) and unstable angina pectoris.

angina pectoris is mild-to-severe chest pain caused by ischemia of the myocardium. atherosclerosis blocks the flow of oxygenated blood through the coronary arteries to the myocardium. anginal pain is crushing, squeezing, heaviness, or pressure-like sensation in the chest, with pain extending up into the jaw, teeth, neck, or down the left arm, often with extreme sweating (diaphoresis) and a sense of doom. can occur during exercise, stress, after a heavy meal, or while resting...Thanks dear student
