d. A 71-year-old patient with heart failure

Rationale: Current guidance targets older adults (generally ≥60 years) and people with chronic cardiopulmonary disease as high risk for severe RSV. A 71‑year‑old with heart failure combines age and a cardiac comorbidity, making vaccination most likely to be recommended.
