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. please select the best answer from the choices provided.
Answer
# Brief Explanations:
Muscular dystrophy is a group of genetic diseases characterized by progressive muscle weakness and loss of muscle mass over time. A muscle injury from a sprain (A) usually causes short - term pain and swelling rather than long - term muscle strength loss. A muscle disease causing ligament tears (B) is not a typical cause of gradual muscle strength loss. A skeletal disease (D) mainly affects bones rather than directly causing the gradual loss of muscle strength seen here.
# Answer:
C. The individual could have muscular dystrophy.
