The correct option is B Idiotype
An ideogram is a diagrammatic representation of the karyotype that shows all of the pairs of homologous chromosomes in the nucleus. The pairs of chromosomes are lined up in order of size, so that the centromeres are aligned and the short arm is uppermost. An ideogram is a useful point of reference for analyzing mutations.
