Solution

The correct option is B Albinism

Albinism is a genetic disorder in which the pigment melanin is under- produced in the body, including skin, hair, eyebrows, eyelashes and even the ribs. The skin of such people appears pinkish because of the presence of underlying blood capillaries.

Leucoderma also known as vitiligo is not a genetic disorder.
