b) Fatty liver disease, Hepatitis A, Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, Cirrhosis
c) Crohn's disease, Ulcerative colitis, Celiac disease, Irritable bowel syndrome, Diverticulitis
d) Asthma, COPD, Bronchitis, Pneumonia, Tuberculosis

Answer 1

Hemochromatosis, Wilson's disease, Alagille syndrome, Glycogen storage diseases, and Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency are congenital liver diseases that can cause cirrhosis of the liver.

Step-by-step explanation:

The five diseases that cause cirrhosis of the liver and are also congenital liver diseases are:

1. Hemochromatosis: is a hereditary disease that causes the body to retain iron, which can lead to liver damage.
2. Wilson's disease: is a hereditary disease that causes the body to retain copper, resulting in copper buildup in the liver.
3. Alagille syndrome: is a genetic disorder that affects the liver's bile ducts, leading to liver damage.
4. Glycogen storage diseases: are a group of inherited metabolic disorders that impair the body's ability to break down glycogen, resulting in liver damage.
5. Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency: is a genetic disorder that affects the production of a protein called alpha-1 antitrypsin, leading to liver damage.
