The answer is D, E, B. Thinning of the media, with extension of plaque into it results in loss of elasticity and may allow an aneurysm to form; this usually occurs in the lower abdominal aorta.

Plaques showing ulceration, thrombosis and calcification represent severe disease.

Mucoid degeneration of the media (Erdheim's medial degeneration) is associated with dissecting aneurysm which usually involves the proximal aorta (C).

Atheroma usually affects vessels of more than 2 mm diameter (A).
