    Nerve thinning.

    Explanation:

    Morton's neuroma may be defined as the painful condition that affects the ball of the foot and the area between the fourth and third toes. This might occur due to the pressure or injury.

    The Morton neuroma mainly occurs due to the thickening of the nerve that may cause nerve compression, irritation and might also cause nerve in the injury. The nerve thinning is not responsible for this condition. The thinning of the nerve might causes diseases related to eyes.

    Thus, the correct answer is option (d).
