Solution
The correct option is C Jaundice
Amniocentesis is a test conducted to study the chromosomal pattern in the cells of the amniotic fluid surrounding the foetus. It detects gender and genetic or chromosomal defects in the baby. Down's syndrome and Turner's syndrome are genetic defects. Jaundice is not a genetic disease, so cannot be detected by amniocentesis.
