Answer: d, Down syndrome

Explanation: Malaria is caused by mosquitoes, and has nothing to do with your genes. Polio is more of a contagious virus. Diabetes mellitus mostly effects the hormone glands. And smallpox is another contagious disease.

Down syndrome is inherited, and can be detected by testing the genes.
