Solution

The correct option is D Accumulation of uric acid crystals in joints causes their inflammation
The vertebral column has 33 vertebrae out of which 27 presacral vertebrae, 7 cervical, 12 thoracic, and 5 lumbar vertebrae are found.

A decreased level of estrogen causes osteoporosis in old people. Progesterone is a hormone responsible for the menstruation cycle and pregnancy.

The fibrous joint is a fixed joint and is present in the bones of the skull while the synovial joint is present in the bones of the vertebrae making it movable.

The process of accumulation of the uric acid in the form of crystals at the place of joints causes inflammation and joint pain, this condition is termed as gout.
