Which risk increases dramatically for astronauts experiencing prolonged weightlessness?

A)Bone density greatly declines
B)Immune system becomes hyperactive
C)Vision acuity sharply improves
D)Muscle mass proportionally increases

💡 Explanation

Reduced gravity causes bone density decline because decreased mechanical loading triggers increased osteoclast activity. This bone resorption dominates due to lack of piezoelectric stimulation of osteoblasts; therefore density goes down because that is the lower-energy structural state rather than the opposite.
