The key is A. Alzheimers. [Alzheimer's disease, is a chronic neurodegenerative disease that usually
starts slowly and gradually worsens over time. It is the cause of 60–70% of cases of dementia. The most
common early symptom is difficulty in remembering recent events. As the disease advances, symptoms
can include problems with language, disorientation (including easily getting lost), mood swings, loss of
motivation, not managing self-care, and behavioural issues. As a person's condition declines, they often
withdraw from family and society. Gradually, bodily functions are lost, ultimately leading to death].
