Appears to be a copy of A.
Based on J and TP and dicts, it doesn't seem to be *especially* of an illness.
In fact, K and NC say "e.g. of an illness", not "esp. of an illness".
LA ~ 致使某事產生的原因。
例 「這起交通事故的誘因是人員超載」。

non-medical example:
Spain's rifts are not caused by pay disputes or racial divides, ...
薪资和种族问题并不是西班牙内部失和的诱因,...

medical example
Heat causes the chemical bonds in cells to break down, a disruption that can be a potential trigger for cancer.
热会导致细胞内化学键的断裂,这种破坏可能是癌证的潜在诱因。

Lots of confirmation for "incentive" in TP. In fact, K says that sense is "Tw usage", but there are also examples on J's 5th page, for example.
Diff:
- 誘因 诱因 [you4 yin1] /cause (esp. of an illness)/incentive/inducement/
+ 誘因 诱因 [you4 yin1] /cause/triggering factor/incentive/inducement/
