B. Left Anterior Descending

Explicación

## Step 1The term "widow maker" is a common name for the Left Anterior Descending (LAD) artery. This nickname is due to the fact that if the LAD artery becomes blocked, it can lead to a heart attack. ## Step 2A heart attack can be fatal, and if the LAD artery is blocked, it can lead to a heart attack that can result in death. This is why it is referred to as the "widow maker".## Step 3The other options, Right Coronary Artery, Right Marginal Branch, and Left Circumflex, are not commonly referred to as the "widow maker".
