Solution

The correct option is A Chromosome aberrations
Amniocentesis is a process, where amniotic fluid is sampled using a hollow needle inserted into the uterus. This is done to test the health of the fetus, by checking for any type of chromosomal or genetic abnormalities. It can also be performed to know about the sex of the unborn.
So the correct option is 'Chromosome aberrations'.
