Solution

The correct option is B Tirsomy
Down syndrome is caused when there is an extra chromosome. People with Down syndrome have 47 chromosomes in their cells instead of 46. They have an extra chromosome 21, which is why Down syndrome is also sometimes known as trisomy 21.
So, the correct answer is 'Trisomy'.
