Step 1. A pair of chromosomes extra with diploid means an entire extra homologous pair is added (2n+2), the definition of tetrasomy (ii).

Step 2. One chromosome extra to the diploid (2n+1) is the definition of trisomy (iii).

Step 3. One chromosome lost from the diploid (2n-1) is the definition of monosomy (i).

Step 4. Two individual chromosomes lost from the diploid (2n-1-1, from two different pairs) is the definition of double monosomy (iv).

✓Final answer

The correct matching is A-ii, B-iii, C-i, D-iv, option (c).
