The correct answer is: A. male hdmi.
A male HDMI connector is the one that has pins on the inside, while a female HDMI connector is the one that has holes on the inside. The Raspberry Pi has a male HDMI connector, so you will need a male-to-male HDMI cable to connect it to a TV with a female HDMI connector.
Option B is incorrect because a female HDMI connector is not compatible with the Raspberry Pi. Option C is incorrect because you do not need an adapter to connect a male HDMI connector to a female HDMI connector. Option D is incorrect because a female HDMI connector is not compatible with the Raspberry Pi.
