The Correct Answer is B

Cramps especially occurring during the night are common. However there are a large number of causes which should be excluded. Drug therapy especially diuretics and sympathomimetics, even if the latter are inhaled, are frequent causes. Peripheral vascular disease and venous obstruction do not cause cramps, but cramps may coexist. About 80% of those with cirrhosis have nocturnal cramps. Lumbar spine dysfunction especially nerve involvement at the L5/S1 level is a potent cause of nocturnal cramps.
