Answer:


\boxed {\boxed {\sf C. \ Heredity}}

Step-by-step explanation:

A risk factor is something that increases the chance of getting a disease. Some are controllable, but some are not.

Stress, eating habits, drug use, exercise, smoking, hygiene, and amount of sleep are all controllable or changeable risk factors. Anybody can change these things in their life.

On the other hand, uncontrollable risk factors, such as age, gender, ethnicity and heredity cannot be changed. Nobody has control over these factors.

So, heredity is the uncontrollable risk factor.
