The component of Type A personality that is most associated with risk for cardiovascular disease is

A) ​competitiveness
B) ​a sense of urgency.
C) ​hostility and anger
D) ​competitiveness, a sense of urgency, hostility and anger.

Hostility and anger are the components of Type A personality that have been most strongly linked to increased risk for cardiovascular disease. Research has shown that individuals with high levels of hostility and anger exhibit higher levels of physiological stress response, including elevated heart rate and blood pressure, which can lead to the development of cardiovascular problems over time. While competitiveness and a sense of urgency are also common components of Type A personality, they have not been as consistently linked to increased risk for cardiovascular disease.
