A Correct answer
Explanation

Gout is a metabolic disorder characterized by accumulation of uric acid crystals in joints and surrounding tissues, causing intense pain and inflammation. It occurs when uric acid levels exceed solubility. Rheumatoid arthritis is autoimmune, osteoarthritis involves wear-and-tear, and rickets is caused by vitamin D deficiency affecting bone development - none involve uric acid crystals.
