The correct answer is option C, bones that break easily

Parathyroid glands are parts of endocrine system and are responsible for regulating the calcium in the body. They continuously monitor and regulate the blood calcium level. Thus the deficiency or issues in the parathyroid gland impacts the calcium level in body and there by makes the bone fragile due to which they can break easily. This condition is termed as Osteoporosis.
