Solution

The correct option is A Haemophiliac carrier
Queen Victoria and many of her descendants carried what was once called "Royal disease"—now known as hemophilia, a blood clotting disorder. Hemophilia is caused by a mutation—likely spontaneous in Victoria's case—on the X chromosome and can be passed along the maternal line of families.

So, the correct answer is 'Haemophiliac carrier'.
