a
b
c

Explanation:

• Option A: Arteriosclerosis and atherosclerosis can be treated with medication, so A is incorrect.
• Option B: Chest pain is not a defining symptom of high blood pressure; high blood pressure often has no symptoms or non - specific symptoms, while arteriosclerosis and atherosclerosis can lead to symptoms like chest pain in some cases. So B is incorrect.
• Option C: High blood pressure can be treated with medication, so C is incorrect.
• Option D: High blood pressure is often asymptomatic (doesn't always have symptoms), while arteriosclerosis and atherosclerosis are more likely to present with symptoms related to reduced blood flow or other complications. This is a key distinction.

Answer:

D. High blood pressure doesn't always have symptoms.
