Correct answer: (d) SCID (Severe Combined Immuno Deficiency resulting from deficiency of ADA)
Explanation:
A first clinical gene therapy was given in 1990 to a 4 year old girl with ADA (Adenosine deaminase) deficiency. ADA deficiency causes SCID (Severe Combined Immuno Deficiency) in which B-lymphocytes and T-lymphocytes are not formed.
