D. 2n + 2

Answer: Option C

Solution (By Examveda Team)

Nullisomic condition is represented by 2n - 2.
Nullisomic is a genetic condition involving the lack of both the normal chromosomal pairs for a species (2n - 2). Humans with this condition will not survive.
It is caused by non-disjunction, during meiosis that causes two of the gametes to have no chromosomal material, leaving the other two gametes to have double the amount of chromosomal material.
