The correct answer would be option A.

Explanation:

A heart attack results from poor blood flow while heart failure involves a total interruption of blood flow. There are arteries in our heart that pump the oxygenated blood to the heart and takes out the de oxygenated blood from the heart. In heart attack, this flow of blood is blocked, resulting in the poor flow of blood to the heart. But heart failure is a gradual process, in which the heart tissues become dead resulting in the total interruption of blood supply to the heart, causing a heart failure.
