Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Muscle twitching, laryngospasm, and paresthesia are manifestations of hypocalcemia (low calcium), not hypercalcemia (high calcium).
• Vomiting is a common gastrointestinal manifestation of hypercalcemia, as elevated calcium levels can disrupt normal bodily functions including the GI tract.
