Which type of cholesterol is considered the best for health?
Correct answer
B
Rationale
High-density lipoprotein (HDL) is considered the best type of cholesterol for health. HDL helps remove excess cholesterol from the bloodstream, reducing the risk of heart disease. Conversely, low-density lipoprotein (LDL) is often referred to as 'bad' cholesterol as it can lead to plaque buildup in arteries. Very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) and very high-density lipoprotein (VHDL) are not commonly used terms in cholesterol classification.
