One of the hereditary diseases listed in the options is Haemophilia, which is the correct answer. Hereditary diseases are those passed down from parents to their children through their genes. Haemophilia is a genetic disorder that affects the blood`s ability to clot properly. It is caused by an inherited mutation in one of the genes responsible for producing blood clotting factors. This means that if a person has a family history of haemophilia, there is a higher chance of them inheriting the disease. Myopia, Anaemia, and Leukemia, on the other hand, are not strictly hereditary diseases. Myopia is a refractive error of the eye, Anaemia is a condition caused by a lack of red blood cells or hemoglobin, and Leukemia is a group of cancers affecting the bone marrow and blood cells.
