Which disease describes the white line disease?

• A. Laminitis
• B. White line disease
• C. Beef
• D. Intercellular cement

Answer: (B)

The main idea is recognizing that this disease targets the junction at the white line of the hoof—the border between the wall and the sole. White line disease is characterized by weakening and separation along that white line, often with cracks or cavities and increased susceptibility to infection because the bond between the wall and sole is compromised. That makes the correct choice the one that literally describes the region affected. Laminitis involves the laminae deeper inside the hoof and is a different process, while beef is not a disease, and intercellular cement is a structural component, not a disease name.
