Final Answer :
J
Explanation :
A cerebrovascular accident (CVA), also known as a stroke, occurs when the blood supply to part of the brain is interrupted or reduced, preventing brain tissue from getting oxygen and nutrients. This can happen due to a blockage (ischemic stroke) or the bursting or leaking of a blood vessel (hemorrhagic stroke).
