The correct answer is (c) Hemophilia.
Hemophilia is a genetic disorder that affects the blood’s ability to clot. People with hemophilia have a deficiency of one of the proteins that are needed for blood clotting. This can lead to serious bleeding problems, both internally and externally.
Diphtheria is an infectious disease that is caused by a bacterium called Corynebacterium diphtheriae. It can cause a serious respiratory infection, as well as skin infections.
Jaundice is a condition that causes the skin and whites of the eyes to turn yellow. It is caused by a build-up of bilirubin, a waste product that is produced when red blood cells break down.
Whooping cough is a respiratory infection that is caused by a bacterium called Bordetella pertussis. It is characterized by a severe cough that sounds like a “whoop.”
All of these diseases can be serious, but only hemophilia is a heritable disease. This means that it is passed down from parents to children through genes.
