Solution

The correct option is C It has one X chromosome.
Human females have XX chromosomes as the sex chromosomes. During the formation of gametes, meiosis takes place. Each gamete thus contains an X chromosome. Human males have XY as the sex chromosomes. Thus, human sperms contain one X or one Y chromosome.
Thus, the correct answer is option C.
