Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Cherubism is a rare, genetic bone disorder that causes abnormal growth of the jawbones, leading to characteristic facial deformities. It typically affects children and is associated with the formation of cysts in the jaw, which can result in a "cherubic" appearance due to the swelling of the cheeks and jaw.
