Solution
All of the options (W, X, Y, Z) are correct. Each of these conditions can increase the risk of stroke:
W. Hypertension and smoking: Both high blood pressure (hypertension) and smoking can damage your blood vessels, leading to strokes.
X. A metastatic tumor entering the circle of Willis: This could potentially block blood flow in the brain, leading to a stroke.
Y. Atherosclerosis of the carotid arteries: This condition, which is a hardening of the arteries, can lead to blockages in the blood vessels that supply the brain, causing a stroke.
Z. Atrial fibrillation: This heart condition can cause blood to pool in the heart and form clots, which can then travel to the brain and cause a stroke.
So, the answer is e. if all are correct.
