The correct option is D Acetylcholine
Alzheimer's disease in humans is associated with the deficiency of acetylcholine.
It is an irreversible, progressive disorder, in which neurons deteriorate, resulting in the loss of cognitive functions, primarily memory, judgment and reasoning, movement, coordination, and pattern recognition.
in advanced stages of the disease, all memory and mental functions may be lost.
