I'm just glad they didn't include "being a couch potato" as an option. That would've been too obvious.

I’m confused about homocysteine; I thought it was more of a marker than a risk factor. Does that mean D could be misleading?

I’m not entirely sure, but I feel like hypertension and dyslipidemia are always mentioned as key factors in CAD. Maybe A is correct?

I practiced a similar question where tobacco smoking was highlighted as a major risk factor. I think it appears in multiple options here.

I remember studying that obesity and diabetes are definitely modifiable risk factors, so I think C might be the right choice.

I'm a little unsure here. The wording of the question is tricky, and I'm not 100% clear on what counts as a "primary" risk factor. I'll have to review my notes and maybe ask the professor for clarification before deciding.

I feel pretty confident about this one. The question is specifically asking about modifiable primary risk factors, so the answer has to include things we can change, like lifestyle and health conditions. C looks like the best option to me.

Okay, let me think this through. I know smoking, high cholesterol, and high blood pressure are big ones. I'm leaning towards D, but I want to double-check the definitions of "primary" and "modifiable" to be sure.

Hmm, I'm a bit confused. I thought hypertension and dyslipidemia were also major modifiable risk factors, but I'm not sure if they're considered "primary" like the ones in C.

I'm pretty sure the answer is C. Obesity, DM, tobacco smoking, and sedentary lifestyle seem like the key modifiable risk factors for CAD.
