Solution

The correct option is B Gout
Gout is caused by the accumulation of uric acid in the blood. It is one of the most painful forms of arthritis. Uric acid comes from the breakdown of purines. When uric acid levels are high in the blood, it also called hyperuricemia.
Arthritis refers to inflammation of joints leading to joint pain or stiffness.
Rheumatism is the inflammation of joints and muscles.
Rheumatic fever refers to the damage caused to the heart valves.
Thus, the correct answer is option B.
