Oh, I know this one! It's definitely D. Dopamine depletion in the nigrostriatal system. Easy peasy!

Hmm, I remember learning about this in my neurology class. Gotta be D, the dopamine thing. Although I do sometimes get those motor pathways confused...

Ah, the classic Parkinson's question! I'm definitely going with D - dopamine deficiency in the nigrostriatal pathway. That's the classic hallmark of the disease.
