Solution

The correct option is C Klinefelter syndrome - 44 autosomes + XXY
Klinefelter syndrome (KS) also known as 47, XXY or XXY, is the set of symptoms that result from two or more X chromosomes in males. It affects male physical and cognitive development.
Erythroblastosis fetalis also called the hemolytic disease of the newborn, is a type of anemia in which the red blood cells (erythrocytes) of a fetus are destroyed in a maternal immune reaction resulting from a blood group incompatibility between the fetus and its mother.
Down syndrome (DS or DNS), also known as trisomy 21, is a genetic disorder caused by the presence of all or part of the third copy of chromosome 21. It is a lifelong condition in which a person is born with distinct physical features and some degree of cognitive disability.
Colour blindness is an X- linked genetic disorder.
