Solution

The correct option is B Blood group inheritance disease
The trait mentioned here is that of a sex-linked disease. Because the father only passes the Y chromosome to the sons due to which they remain unaffected but the daughters become the carrier of the disease because they receive a defective X chromosome from the father. Mother is normal so no defective alleles are passed onto the offspring from her side.
