Solution
The correct options are
C Breast cancer
D Adenosine deaminase deficiency
Gene therapy attempts to treat genetic diseases at the molecular level by correcting what is wrong with defective genes. In case of ADA gene and BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes for breast cancer they are present on either one or two chromosomes so they can be more easily analyzed and treated by gene therapy.
