Answer:

a reduced amount of brain tissue

Step-by-step explanation:

In schizophrenia, dopamine becomes overactive, Glutamate is too much. Brain imaging of people with schizophrenia showed that they lost more brain tissues than normal people and have less gray matter over time.

Therefore, option c is the correct one.
