Answer 1

Correct choice is (b) 20-75 years

Explanation: Age of diagnosis usually 20 to 50. Patients have been as young as 2 and as old as 75 years of age. The environment may be influencing MS. Multiple sclerosis is predominant in cooler climates and areas further from the equator. Thus, researchers have the idea that vitamin D may play a role.
