Incorrect. Hypophosphatemia (low phosphate levels) is not a typical electrolyte imbalance in chronic renal failure.
A) Incorrect. Hyponatremia (low sodium levels) is not typically associated with chronic renal failure.
B) Incorrect. Hypocalcemia (low calcium levels) can occur in chronic renal failure, but hyperkalemia is more common.
