Colic refers to severe pain in the abdomen caused by gas or blockage in the intestines and can occur in both infants and adults. It is characterized by spasms in any hollow or tubular soft organ, often accompanied by pain, but it does not specifically mean any disease of the colon. Choices A, C, and D are related to the general understanding of colic, focusing on the colon or spasms in hollow organs, making B the correct choice as it inaccurately defines colic as any disease of the colon.
