Answer
A
a mental disorder.
B
an infectious illness.
C
a genetic disease.
D
a contagious virus.

Explanation

Nina inherited the condition from her mother, so it is genetic. Wheezing, breathlessness, and chest tightness are symptoms often associated with asthma, which can run in families. A genetic disease is not necessarily infectious or contagious, so the best choice is a genetic disease.
