Answer:

b) lactose intolerance.

Explanation:

  • Lactose intolerance is the inability to digest lactose in milk and dairy products due to the deficiency or complete absence of the enzyme lactase.
  • Lactase converts lactose into glucose and galactose.
  • In this case, Clayton is intolerant to milk but can digest yogurt and some kinds of cheeses.
  • Yogurt and aged cheeses contain trace amounts of lactose.
  • During the manufacturing of cheese and yogurt, most of the lactose is drained along with the water and whey proteins.
  • In aged cheeses such as Cheddar, Parmesan and Swiss, the trace, left over lactose is further drained during the process of aging.
