The correct answer is option A

The word osteoporosis refers to the medical condition in which the bone density decreases.

This problem is most common in females because after menopause there is a sudden decrease in the level of estrogen due to which the calcium level decreases. This hormone protects from osteoporosis.

The bones of the vertebrae lost calcium and crumbled to cause pain in back. This is caused due to pinching in the nerves leaving the spinal cord which ultimately causes pain in back.

Why what we know about cells is called a theory and not a law
Afina-wow [57]
The term "law" is a historical relic going back to Newtonian times, when after Newton's development of classical mechanics, it was thought that the workings of the universe were directly analagous to a perfectly constructed and perfectly predictable clockwork. That was turned on its head as a result of quantum mechanics, and modern scientists typically avoid use of the term "law" anymore because it is too dogmatic. Newton's "Laws" are still called that mainly for historical reasons now. What used to be called laws are now called theories.
