Answer:

b. one

Step-by-step explanation:

Each cell of a human male is diploid (2n) and contains 23 pairs or 46 chromosomes. Out of 23 pairs, 22 pairs are autosomes and 1 pair is sex chromosomes which is X and Y.

Human males are heterogamatic. They produce two types of gametes. Half of spermatozoon, the male gametes contains X sex chromosome and the half of spermatozoon contains Y sex chromosome, since gametes are universally haploid carries only one sex chromosome.
