Answer:

B) The inhibition of normal myelin development in the individual's brain

Explanation:

Phenylketonuria is a disorder characterized by abnormal levels of phenylalanine in the body. It is <u>caused by mutation in DNA that leads to the deficiency of an enzyme known as phenylalanine hydroxylase, which converts phenylalanine to tyrosine</u>, a fundamental substance for dopamine production - related to working memory.

Some of the symptoms of this disorder is intellectual disability, which is caused mainly by demyelination or defective myelin biosynthesis, leading to the <u>inhibition of myelin, a fatty insulating sheath that protects nerves</u>.

Therefore, the cause of the intellectual disability in the individual is <u>the inhibition of normal myelin development in the individual's brain.</u>
