d. lactation.

Answered by maham237 @



The correct answer is C. Tetany

Explanation:

In medicine, hypocalcemia refers to a low level of calcium in the blood or a deficiency which is related to lack of vitamin D but also other conditions such as pancreatitis, kidney failures, etc. Besides this, serious deficiency of calcium can lead to confusion, heart attacks and tetany which refers to a type of seizure or involuntary muscule spams that are mostly related to hypocalcemia, although other factors such as excess of potassium or low levels of magnesium or carbon dioxide can also cause it. Therefore, the sustained muscle spasms from hypocalcemia are known as tetany.
