Solution

The correct option is D 44+XO
Turner syndrome (TS), is a condition in which the female is partly or completely missing an X chromosome. It arises due to the inheritance of only one X chromosome from parents. Therefore, females with Turner syndrome have 44 autosomes and one X chromosome. Such women are sterile.
