The correct option is C

rheumatoid arthritis


Rheumatoid arthritis is caused due to the degenerative changes due to old age which attacks the soft tissues of the joints causing inflammation, swelling and pain. A sprain is a stretch or tear of a ligament while a strain is an injury to a muscle or tendon. Dislocation is the displacement of bones in joints.
