An individual visits the doctor because they notice that, over time, they have been losing muscle strength. which explanation will the doctor most likely give? a. the individual could have a muscle injury that is caused by a sprain. b. the individual could have a muscle disease that causes ligament tears. c. the individual could have muscular dystrophy. d. the individual could have a skeletal disease.

C. The individual could have muscular dystrophy.

Explanation:

Muscular dystrophy is a condition of muscle disease which results in breakdown and weakening of the skeletal muscles over time. This is caused when the abnormal genes interfere in the production of proteins required for the development of healthy muscles.  

The muscular dystrophy can occur in people of all ages, races and sexes. People who have muscular dystrophy in their family history are at a higher risk of developing the disease and passing on to their progeny.

On the basis of the above explanation, C. is the correct option as the losing muscle strength is indicative of muscular dystrophy.

the plates spread at mid-ocean ridges (they are divergent plate boundaries) which allows magma to rise through the weakness between the plates. the magma then emerges as lava from the boundary and cools, creating a new crust.
