- SCID
- CGD
- Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome
- Bruton's agammaglobulinemia
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
Bruton's agammaglobulinemia is an X-linked genetic disorder that results in a deficiency of BTK (Bruton's tyrosine kinase), leading to a lack of mature B cells and impaired antibody production.
