Solution

The blockage that will lead to ischemia of the apex of the heart is the Anterior Interventricular Artery (b). This artery, also known as the Left Anterior Descending Artery (LAD), supplies blood to the front and bottom of the heart, including the apex. Therefore, its blockage can lead to ischemia in these areas.
