SSC CGL 2023 PYQ — Question 130

The correct answer is option 3 i.e. Malaria.

Malaria is NOT an inherited disease. It is a communicable disease caused by parasites transmitted through the bites of infected mosquitoes. In contrast, Down syndrome, cystic fibrosis, and muscular dystrophy are genetic disorders. Down syndrome is caused by an extra chromosome 21, cystic fibrosis is due to mutations in the CFTR gene, and muscular dystrophy is linked to mutations in genes responsible for muscle function.
