The correct option is C a-ii, b-i, c-iii

Tetany - It is a disorder in which wild contractions or spasms of the muscles take place this occurs due to the low calcium concentration in the body fluid. Voice box, hand and feet are the common part of the body which are affected by this.
Osteoporosis- It is an age-related disorder characterised by decreased bone mass and increased chances of fractures. Decreased levels of estrogen is a common cause. Osteoporosis is a bone disease that occurs when the body loses too much bone, makes too little bone, or both. As a result, bones become weak and may break from a fall or, in serious cases, minor bumps. In this disease, bone becomes porous.
Osteoarthritis- it is an inflammatory disease which causes the inflammation of the joints and causes joint pain and stiffness. It worsens with age.
