A) Brachial plexus injury
B) Cerebral palsy
C) Hip dysplasia
D) Congenital torticollis

Answer 1

Erb's palsy or waiter's tip is a type of cerebral palsy caused by a brachial plexus injury.

Step-by-step explanation:

The condition described in the question is consistent with a type of cerebral palsy known as <strong>Erb's palsy</strong> or <strong>waiter's tip</strong>. This condition is a result of a <strong>brachial plexus injury</strong> which occurs when the nerves in the brachial plexus, a network of nerves that control movement and sensation in the shoulder, arm, and hand, are damaged. Brachial plexus injuries often occur during childbirth, especially in cases where there is difficulty delivering the baby's shoulder.
