Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
The sex chromosomes, including the X and Y chromosomes, are located on the 23rd pair of chromosomes, also known as the sex chromosomes pair. Males inherit one X chromosome from their mother and one Y chromosome from their father, giving them a total of one X and one Y chromosome in each of their cells.
