Answer: d. Confounding

Explanation:

In the context of a scientific study such as this one, a confounding factor is one that has influence on both the exposure and event variable(s), which may lead to over- or underestimation of the direct relationship between them (if any).

For instance: In this example, researchers may have had reason to believe that male gender is associated with both higher risk of obesity (the exposure variable) and adult-onset asthma (the event variable). If gender is not taken into account, one may claim that the finding of an association between obesity and asthma is simply an artifact due to the high proportion of male patients (likely to present with both). <em>Controlling</em> for that variable (such as by matching, as in this example) allows researchers to test for this hypothesis.

<h3>What is cystic fibrosis ?</h3>

In cystic fibrosis, the airways become blocked with thick, sticky mucus, making breathing challenging. For bacteria and fungi, the thick mucus is a perfect breeding ground. The lungs, digestive system, and other body organs are seriously harmed by the inherited disorder known as cystic fibrosis (CF).

Your body is protected by your immune system from pathogens, harmful chemicals, and cell changes that could make you ill. It is made up of different cells, organs, and proteins. You don't even realise it's there as long as your immune system is functioning properly.
