Solution

The correct option is B sex - linked recessive

The disease is not Y-linked because the father is unaffected. It is not autosomal dominant because both parents are unaffected. It is not sex linked dominant because all the progeny or the parents are not affected. hence, it is a sex-linked recessive disorder.
