The Correct Answer is B

Gaucher disease is an inherited metabolic disorder in which harmful quantities of a fatty substance called glucocerebroside accumulate in the spleen, liver, lungs, bone marrow, and sometimes in the brain.

Farber's disease is a rare inherited metabolic disorder. In this case, the enzyme that is missing is acid ceramidase. The deficiency of this enzyme leads to the accumulation of a substance known as ceramide and is associated with characteristic symptoms and progressive tissue damage, particularly in the joints, liver, lung, and nervous system.


Fabry disease is a fat storage disorder caused by a deficiency of an enzyme, alpha-galactosidase A (also called ceramidetrihexosidase), involved in the breakdown of fats.
