The answer is C.
Adrenoleukodystrophy is an X-linked disease that affects young males, usually beginning at 7 or 8 years of age. It is characterized by demyelination of the central nervous system(CNS), adrenal insufficiency, mental deterioration, aphasia, apraxia, and dysarthria. Approximately one-third of the patients with this disease also have loss of vision. Although multiple sclerosis(MS) [Choice A] is also a CNS-demyelinating disease, the clinical scenario with posterior hemisphere predominance best fits adrenoleukodystrophy. Metachromatic leukodystrophy (Choice B) generally presents with weakness and decreased reflexes instead of spasticity, and with symmetric CNS demyelination. Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease(Choice E) is a spongiform encephalopathy caused by proteinaceous infectious particles called prions. It occurs in adults and produces dementia. Subacute sclerosing panencephalitis(Choice D) is a slow viral disease caused by the measels virus.
