Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
Studies have shown that male fetuses have a higher risk of being spontaneously aborted or being born stillborn compared to female fetuses. Additionally, African-American mothers have a higher risk of experiencing stillbirth compared to white mothers. Therefore, a male twin with an African-American mother has the greatest risk of being spontaneously aborted or being born stillborn.
