• A. Myasthenia gravis–Autoimmune disorder which inhibits sliding of myosin filaments
• B. Gout–inflammation of joints due to extra deposition of calcium
• C. Muscular dystrophy–age related shortening of muscles
• D. Osteoporosis–decrease in bone mass and higher chances of fractures with advancing age

Answer 1

The correct option is D Osteoporosis–decrease in bone mass and higher chances of fractures with advancing age

Osteoporosis is a condition where the bones become fragile and brittle due to loss of bone tissue. This typically results from deficiency of calcium or vitamin D, or any hormonal changes.
In this disease, bone mass decreases and higher chances of fractures are there with advancing age.

Muscular dystrophy is progressive degenerative disease of skeletal muscles due to genetic defect.

Myasthenia gravis is an autoimmune disorder that affects neuromuscular junction.

Gout is an inherited purine metabolism disorder.
