What substance is primarily associated with the development of Parkinson’s disease?

Correct answer is A). The primary substance associated with Parkinson's disease is a deficiency of the neurotransmitter dopamine in the brain. The loss of dopamine-producing neurons is a hallmark feature of the condition and contributes to the motor symptoms of Parkinson's disease. Excessive calcium intake is not a primary cause of Parkinson's disease. While calcium homeostasis plays a role in neuronal function, it is not the central factor in the development of the condition. While exposure to heavy metals like lead can have neurological effects, lead exposure is not the primary cause of Parkinson's disease. Excessive consumption of vitamin B6 is not a known cause of Parkinson's disease.
