Answer B
Coronary heart disease

Four times more women died from CHD in 2002 than breast cancer. It caused 17 per cent of all deaths of women compared with four per cent from breast cancer. The British Heart Foundation (BHF) is working to alert women to the problem, so they can take steps to reduce their risks of developing heart disease.
