Solution

The correct option is A Colour blindness
1) Color blindness is typically an inherited genetic disorder. It is most commonly inherited from mutations on the X chromosome.

2) Malignancy is a disease in which abnormal cells divide uncontrollably and destroy body tissue.

3) Hepatitis is a disease that affects the liver and caused by virus.

4) Leukemia (cancer of the body's blood-forming tissues, including the bone marrow and the lymphatic system) is caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors.

So, the correct answer is 'Colour blindness'.
