Why is stroke dangerous to neurons?

a) CVAs interfere with the circulation of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), which disrupts its ability to function in the transport of nutrients, waste, and chemical nutrients to individual neurons.
b) CVAs affect the permeability of the endothelial cells that create the blood-brain barrier, allowing toxic substances to reach neurons and cause their death.
c) CVAs disrupt the production and transport of neurotransmitters required for neuronal function and maintenance.
d) CVAs block the normal blood supply to the brain. Neurons that are starved of oxygen and nutrients begin to die within minutes.
