The correct option is (c) Gout

Easy explanation: Gout is disease of joints caused by elevated concentration of uric acid in blood. Joints become inflammed, painful and arthritic due to the abnormal deposition of uric acid crystals. Clinical application of angiotensin converting enzyme are:

• It regulates the sodium and potassium ions and helps adjusts blood pressure and blood volume.

• Aldosterone promotes excretion of hydrogen ions in the urine. This removal of acids from the body can help to prevent acidosis.
