Ans:
A

Feedback:

The characteristic trait of ankylosing spondylitis is progressive loss of the spinal ROM and eventual kyphosis. Synovial joint involvement is not associated with the disease, and a butterfly rash and multisystem involvement are associated with SLE. Decreased bone density does not normally accompany ankylosing spondylitis.
