Ángel Barrera · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : B, Explanation :  The parathyroid hormone is important for regulating calcium levels in the body. Without it, calcium levels can drop too low, leading to muscle spasms and tetany (involuntary muscle contractions). Lethargy, hair loss, sleepiness, mental retardation, and cretinism are not typically associated with absence of the parathyroid hormone.
