Parkinson’s disease causes which of the following
A
Confusion
B
Memory loss
C
Tremors
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Without enough dopamine, this balance is disrupted, resulting in tremor (trembling in the hands, arms, legs and jaw); rigidity (stiffness of the limbs); slowness of movement; and impaired balance and coordination – the hallmark symptoms of Parkinson’s.

Detailed explanation-2: -Pathophysiologically, tremor is linked to altered activity in not one, but two distinct circuits: the basal ganglia, which are primarily affected by dopamine depletion in Parkinson’s disease, and the cerebello-thalamo-cortical circuit, which is also involved in many other tremors.
