Solution

The correct option is B
Bleeder’s Disease

Bleeder’s disease is known as Haemophilia. This is caused by a defective gene present on the X chromosome. The disease is characterized by the patient’s inability to clot blood when a wound is inflicted. The affected person would tend to lose blood, and eventually dies unless proper medical care is given.
