Solution

The correct option is A Monosomy
Monosomy is a form of aneuploidy with the presence of only one chromosome from a pair. Turner's syndrome, a condition that affects only females, results when one of the X chromosomes (sex chromosomes) is missing or partially missing.
So, the correct answer is 'Monosomy'.
