The answer is C: Age.

Explanation for each option: A. Obesity - Incorrect. Obesity is a modifiable risk factor because it can be managed through lifestyle changes such as diet and exercise. B. Smoking - Incorrect. Smoking is a modifiable risk factor because individuals can choose to quit smoking to reduce their risk. C. Age - Correct. Age is a non-modifiable risk factor because it is not something that can be changed or controlled. D. Hyperlipidemia - Incorrect. Hyperlipidemia, or high levels of lipids in the blood, is a modifiable risk factor because it can be managed through medication and lifestyle changes. E. Hypertension - Incorrect. Hypertension, or high blood pressure, is a modifiable risk factor because it can be controlled through medication, diet, and exercise.

Summary: Age is considered a non-modifiable risk factor for Atherosclerosis because it is an inherent characteristic that cannot be altered.
