The following species is an animal model of atherosclerosis because it
readily produces atheromatous arterial lesions when exposed to high
dietary cholesterol:
a. Mongrul dog
b. New Zealand white rabbit
c. normotensive rat
d. spontaneously hypertensive rat

From a faculty page on Vanderbilt University Medical Center's page on
Biomedical Research Education and Training:

"This laboratory has also developed an animal model for
atherosclerosis (the cholesterol-fed heterozygous WHHL rabbit) in
which both genetic and nutritional factors are combined to produce
vascular disease."

So B white rabbit.
