The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Haemophilia**: Haemophilia is a condition that affects the blood's ability to clot, leading to excessive bleeding. It is essential to identify the nature of this condition to classify it correctly. 2. **Identifying the Type of Disorder**: Haemophilia is classified as an X-linked genetic disorder. This means that the genes responsible for this condition are located on the X chromosome, and it is inherited in a recessive manner. 3. **Analyzing the Options**: - **Option A: Genetic disorder** - This is a condition caused by mutations in genes, which is true for haemophilia. - **Option B: Infectious agent** - This refers to diseases caused by pathogens (bacteria, viruses, etc.), which does not apply to haemophilia. - **Option C: Degeneration disease** - This involves gradual deterioration of tissues, which is not the case for haemophilia. - **Option D: Deficiency diseases** - While haemophilia involves a deficiency in clotting factors, it is primarily a genetic disorder rather than a deficiency caused by nutritional lack. 4. **Conclusion**: Based on the analysis of the options and understanding of haemophilia, the correct classification is that it is a genetic disorder. **Final Answer**: Haemophilia is A. A Genetic disorder. ---
