Answer: Option D )Males have two different chromosomes.

Step-by-step explanation:

The human males have two different chromosomes known as the XY- chromosome. Hence, a human male child receives a Y chromosome from his father with XY, and a X chromosome from his mother with XX.

Females, on the other hand have similar chromosomes (XX-chromosome), each X received from each parent.

Thus, the XY-chromosome in human males make for two different chromosomes.
