Solution
The correct option is A Fibrosis
Cystic fibrosis is a genetic heredity disorder. This disorder is related to the accumulation of the mucus in the lungs and other parts of the digestive system.
The defect in the CFTR (cystic fibrosis transmembrane receptor) gene is responsible for this disorder.
The disease is inherited and passed on to the next generation.
