Description:

Most people experience occasional dizziness, but if the feeling persists or interferes with daily life, it could be a sign of a balance disorder. A balance disorder causes the sufferer to feel as if he or she is moving, spinning, or floating, even when the person is quite still. More than 4 in 10 Americans will experience an episode of dizziness sometime during their lives significant enough to send them to a doctor. This dizziness can range from feeling lightheaded to woozy to disoriented, any of which can be extremely distressing.

According to the passage, a balance disorder can be best defined as

(A)feeling lightheaded or woozy
(B)the feeling of spinning when laying down
(C)an episode of dizziness that is significant
(D)a persistent feeling of dizziness that interferes with daily life
