Solution

The correct option is D Myopia
  • Myopia is also known as night blindness. This disease is inherited in an X-linked recessive pattern.
  • Hence one copy of an affected gene on the X chromosome in males is sufficient to result in myopia whereas females with both affected genes have the disease.
    Thus the correct answer is option D.
