Solution

The correct option is A Tetany
Hypocalcemia is a condition in which there are lower-than-average levels of calcium in the liquid part of the blood or the plasma. It can be caused by lack of vitamin D.
In severe cases, symptoms include muscle cramps, confusion, and tingling in the lips and fingers, which is called tetany.
So, the current option is A.
