Solution

The correct option is C Sex limited traits
Sex-limited genes are genes that are present in both sexes of sexually reproducing species but are expressed in only one sex and remain 'turned off'. In other words, sex-limited genes cause the two sexes to show different traits or phenotypes, despite having the same genotype.
