Solution

The correct option is B Girl
Sex determination seen in humans is XY sex determination. Ovum carries X chromosome, whereas sperm can carry either X or Y chromosome. The genetic makeup of a female is XX and genetic makeup of male is XY. Therefore, if the zygote is formed by receiving the X chromosome from the father, the resulting zygote will be a female.
