Ans:
C

Feedback:

Muscle atrophy and disuse contribute to wasting and weakening of the muscle tissue along with the development of joint contractures. Decubitus is usually caused by staying in one position for a long time, which results in compression of tissues and loss of circulation to the area. Tears in tendons usually result from intense physical exercise. Cellulitis is an infection usually as a result in a break in the skin (e.g., injury, surgery, or insect bites).
