D. cystic fibrosis
Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disorder caused by mutations in the CFTR gene. The other options (AIDS, influenza, and chickenpox) are not caused by genetic mutations; they are caused by viral infections. AIDS is caused by the HIV virus, while influenza and chickenpox are caused by the influenza virus and varicella-zoster virus, respectively.
