The correct option is D Mg
Delerium tremens is an acute episode of delirium, that is usually caused by withdrawal from alcohol. The symptoms include global confusion, nightmares, agitiation, disorientation, hallucinations, fever, irritation etc.
Such hyper-irritability and hallucination can be caused by magnesium deficiency.
