C) down syndrome, because you can’t inherit that or catch it, it’s a fault in your genetic math

Answer:

D. Sickle-cell anemia

Step-by-step explanation:

Sickle cell disease is one of the most common inherited blood disorder. It follows an autosomal recessive pattern, which means that you must have two copies of the recessive allele — one from your mother and one from your father — to have the condition.
