Ans:
A, B, C

Feedback:

Klinefelter syndrome is characterized by breast enlargement, sparse facial and body hair, small testes, and inability to produce sperm. At puberty, testes do not respond to stimulation from gonadotropins and undergo degeneration. This leads to a tall stature with abnormal body proportions. Although the intellect usually is normal, most 47, XXY males have some language impairment.
