The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
The HBB gene is located on chromosome 11. This gene encodes the β-globin chain of hemoglobin, and mutations in this gene are linked to β-thalassemia, a blood disorder. Remembering gene-chromosome associations like HBB on chromosome 11 is helpful for genetics-based questions.
