Modifiable risk factor for the development of VTE includes:

Increasing age
Cancer
Immobility
Inherited thrombophilia

The correct answer is: Immobility

One potential explanation is that immobility is a risk factor for the development of VTE, as it can lead to blood pooling in the legs and increase the chances of clots forming. Other risk factors such as increasing age and cancer are not modifiable, meaning they cannot be changed or controlled. Inherited thrombophilia, or an increased tendency to develop blood clots, is also not a modifiable risk factor. Therefore, option C is the most appropriate answer.
