Solution

The correct option is C Tetany
Tetany is rapid spasms in muscles due to low calcium ions in the body fluid or blood. Hyposecretion of parathormone lowers concentration of calcium ions in the blood due to excretion of calcium in urine, this increases the excitability of nerves and muscles, causing cramp and convulsions, this disorder is known as tetany.
So the correct answer is 'Tetany'.
