Is D the correct (the possibility of Huntington's disease)?
Yes. Menstruation and Huntington's don't seem to be connected.

I believe the correct is C but i'm not sure
It is definitally not c. It was wrong on the test, so I think it is b.
To determine the safest option, let's break down the given answer choices:
A) A nonproduction of estrogen: This is an important factor to consider because estrogen plays a crucial role in the menstrual cycle. If Jennifer is not producing enough estrogen, it could potentially result in the absence of menstruation.
B) The importance of Jennifer having only one X sex chromosome: This option refers to a genetic condition called Turner's syndrome, which is characterized by the absence or partial absence of one of the X chromosomes in females. Turner's syndrome can cause various reproductive issues, including the absence of menstruation. It is not safe to ignore this possibility.
C) The possibility of Turner's syndrome: As mentioned above, Turner's syndrome can lead to the absence of menstruation. It is a condition that should be considered when investigating the causes of Jennifer's problem. Ignoring this possibility would not be safe.
D) The possibility of Huntington's disease: Huntington's disease is a genetic disorder that affects the brain, leading to the deterioration of motor skills, cognition, and emotional well-being. It does not directly relate to menstruation, so it can be safely disregarded in this case.
Based on the explanations above, the safest option for the doctor to ignore would be D) the possibility of Huntington's disease. Therefore, the correct answer is D, not C as you initially thought.
