• D. All the above statements are correct

Answer 1

The correct option is C 3 and 4 are correct

In humans, sex is determined by a specific set of chromosomes. Females have two X chromosomes (XX), whereas males have an X and a Y chromosome (XY). A mature female will produce eggs, each with one X chromosome, a mature male will produce sperm with either an X chromosome or a Y chromosome. It says that male sperms have a capability to determine sex of a child but not a female.
