The right answer is A

The XY system of sexual determination is a genetic system of sex determination found in humans, most mammals, some species of insects (Diptera) and plants (Silene latifolia). He states that:

Females (women for humans) have two identical chromosomes (XX) while males (men for humans) have two distinct chromosomes (XY). X chromosome is longer than Y chromosome.
