The correct answer is C

The cardinal clinical features of cerebellar disease are ataxia, dyssynergia, and dysmetria. Ataxia of gait is typified by unsteadiness with a wide base, body sway, and an inability to walk on tandem (heel to toe). Dyssynergia refers to a decomposition of movement instead of a smooth, continuous movement; it is associated with a tendency to miss a target and worsens when approaching the target. Dyssynergia is frequently accompanied by dysmetria (the misjudging of distance), with its characteristic overshooting and undershooting of a target.
