Solution
The correct option is A Sex linked dominant Since all the daughters are effected and sons unaffected the gene is dominant, in daughter the chromosomes are X"X one is from mother and one from father, but father is affected. In case of sons they do not inherit X chromosome but they take Y chromosome from father so they all are normal but daughters are affected.
