Explanation:

Swelling and pain in the legs can be a symptom of deep - vein thrombosis (DVT), where blood clots form in deep veins. Heart failure typically presents with more systemic symptoms like shortness of breath and fluid retention in multiple areas, not just leg - specific swelling and pain. An aneurysm may not always present with such localized leg symptoms. Angina is chest - related pain, not leg pain and swelling.

Answer:

B. Deep vein thrombosis (DVT)
