Solution

The correct option is B Sterility
  • Albinism is a genetic disorder which arises due to the mutation in the gene responsible for producing melanin.
  • As a result, skin becomes pale, hair are white, and lack of pigment in retina and sclera turns eyes pink.
  • Sterility is associated with chromosomal abnormalities in the sex chromosomes which is seen in the case of Turner's syndrome where the females are sterile and Klinefelter's syndrome where males are sterile.
