Solution
The correct option is B XY
XY is the sex complement of a male child with Down's syndrome. The cause of Down's syndrome is non-disjunction of 21st chromosome during oogenesis. This chromosomal abnormality is related with autosome so, the sex complement of a male child in this syndrome will be XY.
