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.
