Answer 1

There are two risk factor associated with cardio vascular disease. One that u can change by changing ur behaviour, life sytle which can reduces the risk is known as modifiable risk factor and the other which cannot be changed at any cost known as non modifiable risk factor.

Cardio vascular disease mainly means the disease of heart .

If somone in his family has these disease there is a possibility to have the disease to the family member because it will be heridetary and it can not be modified. So the 1st option is incorect.

Ethnic background means the race,religion. It play a role in the cardio vascular disease. Ethnic background cannot be alter so that it is also not modifiable risk factor for CVD

Tobacco use not only cause cancer but also cause various problems including blockage of artery ,vein and hence cardio vascular disease. Tobacco can not be naturaly found in our body , we have to consume it by smoke or pan masala. If we leave the tobacco we can be in lower risk. Hence it is in the modifiable risk factor cause person can change it . So TOBACCO USE IS RIGHT OPTION.

Now Age. Age and time can never be reversed. As the age increases our immunity power ,ability of organs to work decreases. So it is also a risk factor for CVD. And we canont reverse our age so that it is also incorrect.
