The Answer Is:
B
This question includes an explanation.
Explanation:
Von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) syndrome is a genetic disorder associated with multiple pancreatic cysts, pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors, and other systemic neoplasms. While cystic fibrosis can produce thickened pancreatic secretions, it rarely causes true pancreatic cysts.

“Multiple pancreatic cysts are strongly associated with Von Hippel Lindau syndrome.”
