Official Solution & Explanation:
Correct Answer: Option C(लॉक्जा (Lockjaw))
टिटेनस (धनुष्टंकार) को 'लॉक्जा' (Lockjaw) भी कहा जाता है, क्योंकि इसमें जबड़े की चर्वण पेशियों (Masseter muscles) में गंभीर संकुचन व जकड़न हो जाती है जिससे मुंह खोलना असंभव हो जाता है।
Tetanus is commonly referred to as 'Lockjaw' because muscle spasms typically begin in the jaw (masseter) and neck, preventing the patient from opening their mouth.
