Solution
The correct option is C Calcium
If your body doesn't get enough calcium and vitamin D to support important functions, it takes calcium from your bones. Losing bone mass makes the inside of your bones become weak and porous. This puts you at risk for the bone disease osteoporosis.
Severe symptoms of calcium deficiency include confusion or memory loss, muscle spasms, muscle cramps, weak and brittle nails, and easy fracturing of the bones.
