Solution

The correct option is B X-chromosomal linked disease
For a male offspring (son) to happen, fertilization of Y chromosome( from a male) should occur with X chromosome (from female). Hence, X-chromosomal linked disease will not be passed from father to the male offspring.

So, the correct answer is 'X-chromosomal linked disease'.
