A.
It would decrease the amount of calcium absorbed by the kidneys so the blood calcium level could remain low.
B.
It would cause more calcium to be absorbed by the intestines to return the blood calcium level to normal.
C.
It would prevent any calcium from entering the bloodstream so the blood calcium level could remain low.
