Solution

The correct option is C Both A and B
  • Sex-limited traits: Trait is absent in one sex while present in another; e.g. barred coloring in chickens seen only in roosters.
  • Sex-linked: Mostly related to X-linked inheritance and males develop them while females with second X gene counteract; e.g. color blindness and sickle cell anemia.

So, the correct answer is 'Both A and B'.
