Hypocalcemia can be caused by a parathyroidectomy (A) because the parathyroid glands regulate calcium levels in the blood. Vitamin D deficiency (C) can lead to hypocalcemia since Vitamin D is essential for calcium absorption in the intestines. Malabsorption disorders (E) can cause hypocalcemia by preventing the absorption of calcium and vitamin D from the diet. Hypertension (B) and heart failure (D) are not directly linked to causing low calcium levels in the blood.
