Solution

The correct option is C Haemophilia
Hemophilia is an X-linked recessive disorder. The genes associated with this disease are located on the X chromosome and are inherited in a crisscross manner. This means that the mothers transmit this disease to her sons and the fathers transmit the condition to the daughters.
So, the correct answer is 'Haemophilia'.
