Solution

The correct option is A Sterile female
Turner's syndrome is a chromosomal disorder that affects only females. It is caused due to the absence of one of the X chromosomes, making the chromosomal composition, 44 + X0, totalling up to 45 chromosomes. Most women with Turner's syndrome are sterile i.e., they are unable to have children due to improper growth of their reproductive organs.
