IMO option D

Which is out because the information is a necessary part of the main sentence .. We are talking about specific diseases and not about diseases in general.

We need Prevented by and not prevented for.

So that's my choice.

GK, please share the OA as well (off-course with spoiler ON)

was it aimed at me! When have you seen me revealing answers without a spoiler.
I do it only for questions which are discussed fairly.

And pls post these advices to people, who post OA's first without a spoiler and then come up with the question. OK??
