Klinefelter's syndrome is characterized by the presence of an extra X chromosome in males, leading to features such as long arms and legs (B) and gynecomastia, which is the development of breast tissue in males (D). It does not typically cause gross mental retardation, profuse body hair, or enlarged testicles; in fact, testicular size may be smaller than average.
