Ans:
A

Feedback:

All of these are symptoms of rickets that are noticed between 6 months and 3 years of age. The rachitic rosary refers to prominent rib cartilage, which is also a symptom of rickets. Paget disease is a progressive skeletal disorder characterized by increasing structural changes of the long bones, spine, pelvis, and cranium; it usually begins during mid-adulthood. DDH is developmental dysplasia of the hip.
