Correct answer: B. Zellweger's syndrome
- A. Gaucher's disease
- B. Zellweger's syndrome
- C. Epidermolysis bullosa
- D. Leber's neuropathy
Explanation
Zellweger syndrome results from defective peroxisome formation or function, causing accumulation of very-long-chain fatty acids and impaired oxidative metabolism. Gaucher disease is a lysosomal storage disorder, not a peroxisomal disorder.
