Solution

The correct option is C It is dominant disease
Haemophilia is an inherited genetic disorder that impairs the body's ability to make blood clots, a process needed to stop bleeding.
It is caused by genetic mutations in genes that code for proteins that are essential in the blood clotting process.
It is inherited in an X-linked recessive pattern. A condition is considered X-linked when gene mutation that causes it is located on the X chromosome, one of the two sex chromosomes.
