Solution

The correct option is C Muscular dystrophy
  • Muscular dystrophy is a group of inherited muscle diseases in which muscle fibers are unusually susceptible to damage.
  • It is characterized by progressive skeletal muscle degeneration, defects in muscle proteins and the death of muscle cell and tissue.
  • Hence progressive degeneration of skeletal muscle, mostly due to genetic disorder occurs in muscular dystrophy.
  • So, the correct answer is 'Muscular dystrophy'.
