Solution
The correct option is D Parathyroid
High blood calcium levels indicate that there is an increased bone resorption which is making the bones more fragile. Parathyroid hormones is responsible for calcium release (resorption) from bones. The woman may have an overactive parathyroid gland or cancer in the gland that is causing calcium to be reabsorbed from her bones.
