Correct Answer: A

Carpal tunnel syndrome is caused by entrapment of the median nerve. The median nerve runs through the carpal tunnel in the wrist, and pressure on this nerve can lead to the symptoms associated with carpal tunnel syndrome, such as pain, numbness, and tingling in the hand and fingers. The option 'medical nerve' appears to be a typographical error, and it should be 'median nerve'.
