Solution

The correct option is B Gout
  • Gout is a metabolic disease in which crystals of uric acid (Monosodium urate) gets deposited in joints, tendons and surrounding soft tissues.
  • Diagnosis includes sudden onset of severe pains, swelling and redness of the joint in great toe of the foot, swelling of joints of the foot, ankle and hands, history of alcohol or red meat intake a day prior to painful attacks.
  • Hence deposition of uric acid in the joints causes gout.
  • So, the correct answer is 'Uric acid'.
