  • A. Klinefelter's syndrome
  • B. Trisomy 21
  • C. Down's syndrome
  • D. Cleidocranial dysostosis

Multiple impacted supernumerary teeth with the ability to approximate the shoulders strongly indicates cleidocranial dysostosis, which involves clavicular hypoplasia or absence and delayed tooth eruption. Down syndrome and Klinefelter syndrome do not produce this characteristic combination.
