<h2>Answer:</h2>

The correct answer is option C which is inbreeding.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>
  • The genetic disease is due to the homozygous recessive alleles in genotype.
  • This happens due to the inbreeding which is the process of breeding of interrelated or closely related species.
  • Due to which the some alleles reappear in generations, with chances of one genotype is increased.
  • In this situation, the genotype of two recessive alleles appear due to inbreeding.

<span>Compound Microscope Compound microscope is commonly used in the schools and colleges. It comes under the category of microscopes used in biology. It has two lenses namely the objective lens and the ocular lens. It provides a magnification of 1500X. Eyepiece lens is of 10X or 15X power. It is used to observe bacterial, protozoa, various cells, etc.

</span><span>Dissecting Microscope It is also called stereo microscope. Its magnification power is less than the other microscope. It gives a 3 dimensional picture. Due to the low magnifying power they are used to observe little bigger objects than other microscopes. They are used in the surgeries, dissection, forensic science etc.</span>
