Diploid set of human chromosomes have 22 pairs of autosomes and 1 pair of sex chromosomes. That is why A is correct. B is wrong because this is only specific for male. C is wrong because it is specific for females.

This statement is correct. The diploid human chromosome set includes 22 pairs of autosomes, which are non-sex chromosomes, and 1 pair of sex chromosomes, which are XX in females and XY in males.

This statement is partially correct since it describes the male karyotype but does not account for the female karyotype, which is XX. The phrase should indicate 1 pair of sex chromosomes to be universally accurate.

This statement only describes the female karyotype and neglects the male karyotype, which is XY. The correct description should include 1 pair of sex chromosomes, accommodating both male and female configurations.

This statement is incorrect in the context of the diploid chromosome set. Somatic cells are diploid, containing the full set of chromosomes, while germ cells are haploid, containing half the number of chromosomes.
