The correct Answer is:
C
Pathophysiology is the functional change associated with or resulting from disease or injury. It is the study of biochemical and physical manifestation of disease as they correlate with the underlying abnormalities and physiological disturbances. It does not deal directly with the treatment of disease. Rather it explains the processes within the body the result in signs and symptoms of diseases.
