Ptosis accompanied by weakness of the orbicularis oculi muscle, which improves with rest but worsens with activity, is most likely indicative of which condition?

A: Oculomotor nerve palsy

B: Horner’s syndrome

C: Myasthenia gravis

D: Bell’s palsy

Correct answer is C: Myasthenia gravis The combination of ptosis (drooping of the eyelid) and weakness of the orbicularis oculi muscle that fluctuates with activity and improves with rest is characteristic of myasthenia gravis. This neuromuscular disorder often presents with such symptoms, distinguishing it from other conditions like stroke, Bell's palsy, or Horner's syndrome, which have different clinical presentations.
