Solution

The correct option is C Muscles remained underdeveloped and the spines got bent
Women’s magazines described how tight dresses and corsets caused deformities and illness among young girls. Such clothing restricted body growth and hampered blood circulation. Muscles remained underdeveloped and the spines got bent. Doctors reported that many women regularly complained of acute weakness, felt languid, and fainted frequently. Corsets then became necessary to hold up the weakened spine.
