C) rheumatoid arthritis.
D) osteoporosis.
E) gouty arthritis.

Accepted Answer

The most common type of joint inflammation is degenerative joint disease, also known as osteoarthritis. Rheumatism is a non-specific term used to describe any type of joint pain or inflammation. Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease that affects the joints, while osteoporosis is a condition that causes bones to become weak and brittle. Gouty arthritis is caused by a buildup of uric acid crystals in the joints and is not as common as degenerative joint disease.
