Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
An intersex condition involves a variation in an individual's sex chromosomes, such as having both X and Y chromosomes (known as Klinefelter syndrome) or only one sex chromosome (known as Turner syndrome). It does not necessarily have anything to do with one's sexual orientation or gender identity. Gender schemas refers to the cognitive frameworks individuals use to organize their ideas about gender.
