Low $Ca^{++}$ in the body fluid may be the cause of
A Gout
B Tetany
C Anaemia
D Angina pectoris

Detailed Solution

Tetany is the rapid spasms (wild contractions) in muscle due to low $Ca^{++}$ in the body fluid.
Gout is inflammation of joints due to accumulation of uric acid crystals.
Anaemia is a deficiency of haemoglobin or RBCs.
Angina pectoris is acute chest pain that occurs when not enough oxygen reaches the heart muscle.
Hence low $Ca^{++}$ in the body fluid may cause tetany.
