The correct answer is C. pulmonary disease.
Pure right-sided heart failure, also known as cor pulmonale, is most commonly caused by pulmonary diseases that lead to pulmonary hypertension (high blood pressure in the lungs). This increased pressure strains the right side of the heart, causing it to fail.
