Best answer
Right option is (a) Blocking secretion of pancreatic juice

The best explanation: “Blocking secretion of pancreatic juice.” This statement is not true for gout disease. Following statements are true for gout disease:

• Disease of joints caused by elevated concentration of uric acid in blood.

• Joints become inflamed, painful and arthritic due to the abnormal deposition of uric acid crystals.

• Kidneys are also affected as excess uric acid is deposited in the kidney tubules.
