Solution

The correct option is B Huntington's disease
Huntington's disease is an inherited disease that causes the progressive breakdown (degeneration) of nerve cells in the brain. Huntington's disease has a broad impact on a person's functional abilities. The movement disorders associated with Huntington's disease can include both involuntary movement problems and impairments in voluntary movements, such as involuntary jerking or writhing movements (chorea). Other common symptoms may include clumsiness and facial grimacing.

So, the correct answer is 'Huntington's disease'.
