Answer 1

Answer:

c. cystic fibrosis.

Explanation:

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a hereditary disease that affects mainly the lungs and digestive tract causing a build-up of thick mucus in the lungs thereby leading to difficulty in breathing. Presently, there is no cure for the disease and due to the abnormally high production of thick and sticky mucus, patients are more likely to grow bacteria and develop infections.
