  • A
    tetrasomy
  • B
    trisomy
  • Correct answer
    C

  • D
    multisomy

Solution

When changes involve only a few chromosome say one or two and not the entire genome, the phenomenon is called aneuploidy. Monosomy is a case of aneuploidy, when there is loss of one chromosome from a pair of homologue.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'C'.
