The right option is; C. develop diseases because they have little genetic variation

Organisms that are asexually produced are more likely to develop diseases because they have little genetic variation.

Organisms that are produced through asexual reproduction are genetically identical to their parents, and have the same physical characteristics such as hair colour like their parents. These organisms are likely to develop diseases because they have very little or no genetic variation. Genetic variation is the subtle differences in the DNA sequence in each genome which is caused by environmental factors such as temperature, light, or due to errors during DNA replication.
