Solution
The correct option is C Pericentric translocation
Pericentric chromosome aberration: A basic type of chromosome rearrangement in which a segment that includes the centromere (and so is pericentric) has been snipped out of a chromosome, turned through 180 degrees (inverted) and inserted back into its original location in the chromosome.
So, the correct answer is 'Pericentric translocation'.
