Solution

The correct option is D Nephritis
Sex-linked genetic disorders are any diseases or abnormal conditions that are caused by a defective gene on the X chromosome, one of the sex chromosomes. These disorders may also involve a deviation in the number of X or Y chromosomes. For example, red/green colour blindness, Duchenne muscular dystrophy, night blindness, and haemophilia. Nephritis is inflammation of the kidneys and may involve the glomeruli, tubules, or interstitial tissue surrounding the glomeruli and tubules.
Thus the correct answer is option C.
