Explanation

The passage describes heart attack pain as 'a tightness or ____(ii)___ in the chest'. In medical contexts, chest pain from heart attacks is commonly described as heaviness, pressure, or squeezing sensation. Heaviness (C) is the standard medical descriptor that parallels 'tightness'. Weightlessness, dilation, and laxity don't fit this context.
