What goes inside the commas must define Scoliosis.

For A, C and E are both extremely wordy in using condition to describe the curvature

D does have the proper order as you have to identify the abnormal curvature before you talk about what it does to the body.

Hi Jim,

The use of the word 'Condition' by itself is wrong here or the construction of the sentence is wrong ?
