Solution

MTP:
MTP is an abbreviation for medical termination of pregnancy.
A normal human has 46 chromosomes, which are comprised of 22 pairs of autosomes + XX (male) or 22 pairs of autosomes + XY (female) sex chromosomes.
The zygote in this case will be XXY and will develop into a male with Klinefelter's syndrome.
Such people have feminine characteristics, gynecomastia, and are sterile.
The woman was prescribed MTP as a result of these disorders.
