Solution

The correct option is B Huntington's chorea
Huntington's disease is a progressive brain disorder caused by a single defective gene on chromosome 4 — one of the 23 human chromosomes that carry a person’s entire genetic code. This defect is "dominant," meaning that anyone who inherits it from a parent with Huntington's will eventually develop the disease. Symptoms of Huntington's disease usually develop between ages 30 and 50.

So, the correct answer is 'Huntington's chorea'.
