Solution

The correct statement pertaining to Cerebral Palsy (CP) is:

c. Disease presentation and severity depends on the brain region affected AND the extent of neuronal death.

Explanation: Cerebral Palsy is a group of disorders that affect a person's ability to move and maintain balance and posture. It is the most common motor disability in childhood. CP is caused by abnormal development of the brain or damage to the developing brain that affects a child's ability to control his or her muscles. The symptoms of CP vary from person to person. A person with severe CP might need to use special equipment to be able to walk, or might not be able to walk at all and might need lifelong care. A person with mild CP, on the other hand, might walk a little awkwardly, but might not need any special help. Thus, the disease presentation and severity indeed depends on the brain region affected and the extent of neuronal death.
