The correct option is A 2n-1
Presence of one extra chromosome than the normal chromosome number in a diploid species is known as trisomy (2n+1). Presence of one chromosome in four copies is known as tetrasomy (2n+2). Presence of one extra chromosome than the normal chromosome number in a haploid species is known as disomy (n+1). Monosomy is a aneuploid condition where one homologous chromosome is missing (2n-1).
