Option (d).

Explanation:

Karyotype may be defined as the process of the determining of the chromosome complement of the individual organism. The complete set of an organism's chromosome can be determined by karyotype.

The karyotype displays the each and every pair of homologous chromosome. The chromosomes are organised according to their shape and size. The abnormal chromosome can easily be determined by the karyotype.

Thus, the correct answer is option (d).
