Answer:

After the analysis of this pedigree, it is clears that the inheritance pattern is X linked because the offsprings are affected with parents genotgype

Explanation:

The inheritance is X linked dominant because of the presence of one dominant gene for the affected genotype in male.

The male individuals are affected. This is therefore not a recessive inheritance in later case, it is only when the two genes are present at the same time the affected genotype will be seen.
