Solution

The correct option is C If assertion Is true but reason is false.
Tetany is a rapid muscular spasm caused by the decrease in the blood calcium level. The low blood calcium levels are known as the hypocalcemia. This leads to the involuntary spasms that can take part in any muscle of the body.
So, the correct option is 'If assertion Is true but the reason is false.'
