Given below are four words out of which three are alike in a certain context and one of them is inconsistent. Select that inconsistent word. Correct Answer Hypertension

The logic followed here is:

Option (1)   Arthritis → It is a disease of bone.

Option (2)   Gout → It is a disease of bone.

Option (3)   Hypertension → It is not a disease of bone.

Option (4)   Rickets → It is a disease of bone.

Hence, “Hypertension” is an odd one.
