Answer:
Option B, narrowing of the arteries
Explanation:
The definition for arteriosclerosis can be derived from the root phrases that the term itself is composed of.
The root phrase and combing form arteri/o- comes from the Greek word arteria meaning windpipe and artery; the former word may be confusing but it makes sense if you think about the arteries being a vessel or "pipe" that carries blood that has been oxygenated (wind) by the lungs to the body's vital tissues.
The suffix -sclerosis comes from the Greek word skleros meaning hard and hardening.
What occurs in arteriosclerosis is some underlying cause leads to the hardening of the arterial vasculature. Unable to dilate and constrict with metabolic demand and in response to autonomic signal, the blood vessels are more susceptible to developing fatty plaque deposits that shrink the size of their lumen -- the opening through which blood flows -- thereby narrowing the arteries, a condition known as atherosclerosis.
Thus, arteriosclerosis is the narrowing of the arteries, option B. It is also indirectly related to high blood glucose in that the development of or having type 2 diabetes mellitus is a risk factor for developing arteriosclerosis.
