What is a metabolic bone disorder affecting primarily post-menopausal women and is characterized by the loss of calcium and phosphate from the bone?

Rheumatoid arthritis
Osteoporosis
Tendonitis
Epilepsy

The correct answer is: Osteoporosis

Osteoporosis is a metabolic bone disorder that primarily affects post-menopausal women. It is characterized by the loss of calcium and phosphate from the bone, leading to weaker and more brittle bones. Rheumatoid arthritis, tendonitis, and epilepsy are all different medical conditions that do not involve the loss of calcium and phosphate from the bone. While they may also affect the bones and joints, they are not classified as metabolic bone disorders like osteoporosis. Therefore, these options are incorrect in relation to the given question.
