The key is B. Ischaemic mitral regurgitation. [ischaemic mitral regurgitation > raised pulmonary
capillary pressure > pulmonary oedema. Inferior myocardial infarction causes left ventricular
remodeling, which displaces posterior papillary muscle away from its normal position, leading to
ischemic mitral regurgitation].
