Solution

The correct option is D Human female
In humans (and most other mammals), the female is the homogametic sex i.e females have two identical homologous chromosomes (XX) whereas males, the heterogametic sex, have two homologous chromosomes of different sizes with different genes (XY).
So, the correct answer is 'Human female'.
