Solution

The correct option is C Dopamine
Parkinson's disease occurs when nerve cells in the area of the brain that controls movement become impaired or die. Normally, these neurons produce an important brain chemical known as dopamine, but when the neurons die or become impaired, they produce less dopamine. This shortage of dopamine causes the movement problems of people with Parkinson's.
