Answer:

B.) trisomy

Step-by-step explanation:

A karyotype is a micrograph that maps out the pairs of homologous chromosomes, whereas in humans, this consists of 22 autosomes and one pair of sex chromosomes, having 46 chromosomes in total. Having 47 chromosomes shows an extra chromosome that is attributed to trisomy.
