Correct: B — hyperlipidaemia. Vein graft patency is reduced by hyperlipidaemia, which drives accelerated graft atherosclerosis in the later phase, as well as by smoking, small vein diameter, poor-quality conduit and diabetes; lipid lowering with statins measurably improves graft survival. Hypertension, age and sex (options A, C and D) have much less influence on graft patency.
