D. Respiratory and digestive issues.
Cystic fibrosis is caused by mutations in the CFTR gene leading to thick, sticky secretions. That primarily affects the lungs (chronic cough, recurrent infections, bronchiectasis) and the pancreas/digestive tract (pancreatic insufficiency, malabsorption, steatorrhea, poor growth). It can also cause salty sweat and male infertility, but it does not cause absence of pigment (albinism) or primarily skin or cardiovascular diseases.
