• A. (i)=>d.,(ii)=>c.,(iii)=>a.,(iv)=>b.
• B. (i)=>c.,(ii)=>a.,(iii)=>d.,(iv)=>b.
• C. (i)=>d.,(ii)=>a.,(iii)=>b.,(iv)=>c.
• D. (i)=>b.,(ii)=>c.,(iii)=>d.,(iv)=>a.

Answer 1

The correct option is A

(i)=>d.,(ii)=>c.,(iii)=>a.,(iv)=>b.

Osteoarthritis-The cartilage present in between the bone slowly wears down until the two articulating surfaces are rubbing against each other causing severe pain and stiffness as well as the restructuring of the joint. This is fittingly known as a degenerative disease.

Gouty arthritis-This is a disease caused by metabolic derangement. The primary problem here, is either overproduction of uric acid, a byproduct of protein breakdown.

Osteoporosis-This disease results from a lack of homoeostasis or balance between mineralisation and resorption of calcium and phosphorus from the bone.New bone creation doesn't keep up with old bone removal

Myasthenia gravis- This is a disease that affects the neuromuscular junction. Like rheumatoid arthritis, it is an autoimmune disease, with the body’s own antibodies attacking the receptors on the muscular end of the neuromuscular junction.
