Solution

The correct option is C Osteoporosis Decrease in bone mass and higher chances of fractures with advancing age
  • Skeletal system consists of a framework of bones and a few cartilages.
  • Osteoporosis is defined as a low bone mass and microarchitectural deterioration of bone tissue, leading to enhanced bone fragility and a consequent increase in fracture risk.
  • It occurs due to various fractures such as calcium deficiency, hyperparathyroidism, estrogen deficiency in females etc,
  • Hence osteoporosis →→ Decrease in bone mass and higher chances of fractures with advancing age.
  • So, the correct answer is 'Osteoporosis →→ Decrease in bone mass and higher chances of fractures with advancing age'.
