Solution

The correct option is C Sperm of male with Y chromosome fertilizes the egg
A male produces both X and Y bearing sperms. If the sperm which contains X chromosome fuses with female ovum, it produces a girl child. If the fusion occurs between Y containing sperm and ovum, the baby will be a boy. Thus the correct answer is option B.
