Hello!
It is better to have more HDL.
It stands for high-density lipoprotein and is seen as the "good" kind of cholesterol. LDL, on the other hand, is seen as the "bad" cholesterol because it is the kind that causes build up in your arteries.
Hope that helped!

Answer:
When it comes to cholesterol, it is better to have more HDL.
Explanation:
- Because it aids in the removal of other types of cholesterol from your system, high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol is referred to as the "good" cholesterol. A lower risk of heart disease is linked to higher HDL cholesterol levels.
- All of your cells contain cholesterol, a waxy material that serves a variety of purposes, including aiding in the development of new cells for your body. It circulates in your bloodstream bound to proteins. Lipoproteins are the name for these proteins.
- The walls of your blood arteries can eventually become clogged with high amounts of low-density lipoprotein (LDL), making the pathways smaller.
- A clot may occasionally form and become lodged in the constricted area, leading to a heart attack or stroke. LDL cholesterol is frequently referred to as "bad" cholesterol for this reason.
Hence, option (D) is correct.
