Incorrect Answerimmunity
Incorrect Answervulnerability
Correct Answerexemption
Incorrect AnswerExplanation:
- The sentence discusses a genetic "predisposition" to liver disease.
- "Predisposition" means a tendency to suffer from a condition or disease.
- Let's evaluate the options:
- Option 1: Resistance - Means the ability to withstand or oppose something, opposite of predisposition.
- Option 2: Immunity - Refers to being protected from disease, also opposite in context.
- Option 3: Vulnerability - Means being susceptible or likely to be affected by something. This matches the meaning of predisposition.
- Option 4: Exemption - Suggests being free from an obligation or condition, unrelated here.
- Since "vulnerability" aligns with having a tendency towards a disease, it is the correct choice.
