The correct answer is: A-III, B-IV, C-I, D-II
Down's syndrome is due to presence of an additional copy of chromosome number 21. Klinefelter's syndrome is caused due to presence of an additional copy of X-chromosome. $\alpha$-Thalassemia is controlled by two closely linked genes on chromosome 16 of each parent. $\beta$-Thalassemia is controlled by a single gene HBB on chromosome 11 of each parent.
