Answer: Androgen insensitivity syndrome

Step-by-step explanation:

Androgen insensitivity syndrome is a sexual development disorder occurs before birth and during puberty.

Androgen insensitivity syndromes is caused because during pregnancy the bodies are unable to respond to androgen that left excess of androgen in uterus.

The partial forms of androgen insensitivity syndrome occurs due to partial use of androgen when in uterus. It develops ambiguous genitalia in which one look completly female but have both male and female characteristics.
