Answer is Homologous.
A diploid individual having two different alleles for a specific trait is called heterozygous. An allele is the alternative form of the same gene. The cells in diploid organisms contain sets of homologous chromosomes, which are paired chromosomes. Each chromosome of a homologous pair has the same genes on the same positions. Although homologous chromosomes have the same genes, they may have different alleles for those genes.
Example: The gene for seed color trait in a pea plant exists in pair. One gene or allele for yellow seed (R) and the other for green seed color (r). A heterozygous plant would contain alleles for seed color (Rr). Gene R is present one chromosome and its allele (r) is present on the other chromosome of the homologous pair.

Answer:
C
Explanation:
<em>The possible genotype of his father is </em>
<em> and </em>
<em>.</em>
<u>For sex-linked traits, an affected man always inherit the affected allele from the mother. The other chromosome, which is the Y chromosome is always from the father and this confers maleness on individuals.</u>
The father of a man affected for a sex-linked trait can be affected for the same trait or otherwise. It does not have any bearing on the male child since the father only donates the Y chromosome to the male child.
Hence, in this case, the father can either be affected for the same trait (
) or be free from it (
).
The correct option is C.
