Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
Samahl would be classified as intersex because he has both male and female reproductive organs, which does not fit into the typical binary of male or female. Gender identity is separate from biological sex characteristics, so it is possible for Samahl to still identify as male despite having a uterus.
