d. no, because it is an infectious disease.

Explanation:

Inherited diseases are passed from parents to offspring through genes. If Michael has an inherited disease, his children are at risk of having it too. Metabolic and cell - affecting diseases may not necessarily be passed on to children, and infectious diseases are spread through contact with pathogens, not inheritance.

B. Yes, because it is an inherited disease.
