• C. Gout
• D. Myasthenia gravis

Answer 1

Answer:

C. Gout

• Gout occurs when urate crystals accumulate in your joint, causing the inflammation and intense pain of a gout attack.

• Urate crystals can form when you have high levels of uric acid in your blood.

• Your body produces uric acid when it breaks down purines — substances that are found naturally in your body.
