Answer
To determine the modifiable risk factors for cardiovascular disease, we need to identify factors that can be changed or influenced. Among the options:
(A) includes gender, which is not modifiable, and obesity and smoking, which are.
(B) includes age, which is not modifiable.
(C) includes heredity, which is not modifiable.
(D) includes activity level, which is modifiable, along with hypertension and obesity.
Thus, the correct answer that exclusively includes modifiable risk factors is (D) Activity level, hypertension and obesity.
