The correct answer is A,B. Deep vein thrombosis is a condition where blood clots form in deep veins, often due to immobility. Immobility can lead to blood pooling and clot formation, increasing the risk of DVT. Therefore, both choices A and B are correct as they are interlinked in causing DVT. Choice C and other options are incorrect as they do not directly address the relationship between immobility and the risk of DVT development.
