Solution

The correct option is D It is a dominant disease
Haemophilia is a bleeding disorder, usually inherited with an X-linked recessive inheritance pattern, which results from the deficiency of a coagulation factor. Haemophilia A results from the deficiency of clotting factor VIII. Haemophilia B results from the deficiency of clotting factor IX.

So, the correct answer is 'It is a dominant disease'.
