Answer:

b. Cartilage thinning

Explanation:

  The joints of our body are lined with hyaline cartilage, a tissue with unique characteristics that can shape and make bones slide in perfect sync over each other. The cartilage tissue acts as a lining of the bony surfaces of the knee, preventing friction between them and also absorbing the impact we generate when we move.  

 The nonweight bearing or overweight can lead to a damage to this cartilage, which can cause pain, loss of movement, accumulation of fluid content in the knee and, in more severe cases, lead to cartilage thinning.

Explain why it is a bad idea to take a friend's prescription medication.
nikdorinn [45]
Hi, there! (:
Well for starters - you shouldn't take your friend's medication because it can internally harm you. Chances are if it's prescribed by a doctor for someone other than you it's not made for your body which can lead to a very dangerous reaction on your end.
Another reason is that it's not actually legal.
But lastly, it can lead to a road of addiction, or even you going and trying to experiment further, and it could lead to long term damage.
I hope all is well, and you pass! Good luck, rockstar! (: If you have any follow up questions, or even a comment on what i've wrote - let me know! (:
