The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

The correct option is (A) : Sex-linked dominant

The daughter inherits the "X-chromosome" from the father, while the "Y-chromosome" is passed down to the boys. The characteristic is X-linked since only the daughter and none of the boys are impacted. Daughters get the second X chromosome from their normal mother, who does not possess the trait's problematic allele. The characteristic is an X-linked dominant trait since it is manifested in daughters under heterozygous conditions.
