D - To identify diseases that may be genetic, communicable, or possibly environmental in origin, the interviewer asks about the age and health status, or the age and cause of death, of first-order relatives (parents, siblings, spouse, children) and second-order relatives (grandparents, cousins). Options A, B, and C are incorrect because it is not necessary to count how many living relatives the patient has and information on aunts, uncles, and great-grandparents is not included in the assessment being performed.

D) To identify diseases that may be genetic

They will be concerned with first order relatives ie:parents, siblings, and children. It is important to assess if the patient was adopted and if he or she is aware of the biological parents health hx.
