The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

Cystine stones are caused by cystinuria, a genetic disorder that leads to excessive excretion of cystine, an amino acid. These stones form in the kidneys and are associated with recurrent colicky pain, crystals in urine, and hematuria (RBCs in urine).
