Correct answer: B. Spondylosis

  • A. Sciatica
  • B. Spondylosis
  • C. Slipped disc
  • D. Disc tumour

Explanation

The MRI report indicates 'degeneration of intervertebral discs in the lumbar region and protrusion of the spongy nucleus pulposus.' These findings are consistent with 'spondylosis,' which is a general term for degenerative changes in the spine, particularly related to the intervertebral discs and vertebrae. Although a 'slipped disc' or herniated disc involves the protrusion of the nucleus pulposus, it is part of the broader category of degenerative spine conditions. Sciatica describes symptoms rather than a specific condition and a disc tumor is not mentioned in the report, making these options incorrect.
