Answer:
D Phenylketonuria
Explanation:
Infant jaundice is caused by buildup of a compound bilirubin in infant's blood. It leads to yellowing of skin and eyes. There are several risk factors which should be kept in mind. People with east Asian or Mediterranean descent are at more risk of jaundice. Prolonged bruising during labor can lead to breakdown of more red blood cells hence production of more bilirubin again increasing jaundice risk. If mother's blood type is different from the child, the child might receive antibodies from the mother via placenta, hence breakdown of RBCs . Poor breastfeeding can also lead to improper development of baby making it more susceptible to jaundice.
Phenylketonuria is a metabolism error and leads to reduced metabolism of Phenylalanaine. It has got nothing to do with jaundice.

Answer: Natural Errors
Explanation: Mutagens can erase parts of DNA that then replicate, but is not a mistake made in copying DNA so that's not it. UV Radiation distorts DNA, but is not necessarily a mistake made in copying it. Natural Errors are mutations made by cells when they copy base pairs and ineffectively or for some other reason mutate/do not create the correct DNA, and the failure of cells to correct this is a mutation. This is also known as an error in DNA replication
