Name this crystal
- A.
  
  Calcium Oxalate Dihydrate
- B.
  
  Calcium Oxalate Monohydrate
- C.
  
  Triple Phosphate
- D.
  
  Uric Acid
Correct Answer
A. Calcium Oxalate Dihydrate

Explanation
Calcium oxalate dihydrate is the correct answer because it is a crystal composed of calcium, oxalate, and water molecules. The term "dihydrate" indicates that there are two water molecules associated with each calcium oxalate unit. This crystal is commonly found in the urine and can contribute to the formation of kidney stones. Calcium oxalate monohydrate is similar but contains only one water molecule. Triple phosphate and uric acid are different types of crystals and not the correct answer in this case.
