Atherosclerosis: A process of progressive thickening and hardening of the walls of medium-sized and large arteries as a result of fat deposits on their inner lining.
Risk factors for atherosclerosis include high levels of "bad" cholesterol, high blood pressure (hypertension), smoking, diabetes and a genetic family history of atherosclerotic disease.
Atherosclerosis is responsible for much coronary artery disease (angina and heart attacks) and many strokes.

Atherosclerosis is a condition in which fatty material (fat, cholesterol, etc) collects along the walls of arteries. This fatty material thickens, hardens, and may eventually block the arteries. So the answers is A) A diet high in saturated fats.
Hope this helps ;-)
