Correct answer is C). Intention tremor is a type of tremor that occurs during purposeful and goal-directed movements, especially when the individual approaches a target. It tends to become more pronounced as the individual gets closer to the target. Intention tremor is often associated with conditions that affect the cerebellum, a part of the brain responsible for coordinating fine motor movements.
