Best answer

Answer: 2. Arthritis - Inflammed joints

Key idea: Check each disease against its true description.

  • Muscular dystrophy is a genetic disorder, not autoimmune. Wrong.
  • Arthritis is inflammation of joints. Correct.
  • Tetany is caused by low \(\mathrm{Ca^{2+}}\) causing spasms. Wrong.
  • Myasthenia gravis is an autoimmune disorder affecting neuromuscular junction, not genetic. Wrong.
