Answer: Option D
Solution:
Idiosyncracy

Option B,
Teratogenicity
, refers to drugs or agents that can cause harm to a developing fetus and is not directly related to genetic factors.
Option C,

, is the ability of a substance to cause cancer, and while genetics can play a role in cancer susceptibility, it is not a genetically determined adverse drug reaction in the same sense as idiosyncracy.
Therefore, the correct answer to this question is
Option D: Idiosyncracy, as it directly relates to genetically determined adverse drug reactions.
