<em>A. Y-linked.</em>

Explanation:

Males have one Y chromosome and one X chromosome, while females have two X chromosomes.

If the father is affected by a genetic disorder, that means it will be passed down to only sons in the family, not females, since females do not have a Y chromosome.

This would mean the genetic disorder is Y-linked, and only on the Y chromosome, which is specific to males.
