please select the best answer from the choices provided.

a
b
c
d

Explanation:

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a nonfatal disease that affects the central nervous system (CNS) by disrupting the myelin sheath around nerve fibers, leading to various neurological symptoms. It does not primarily cause severe memory loss (ruling out A and C) and it targets the CNS, not the peripheral nervous system (ruling out B).

Answer:

D. This nonfatal disease disrupts the central nervous system (CNS).
