Answer:
The correct answer would be X-linked dominant.
X-linked dominant inheritance is a type of inheritance in which a dominant gene is carried on the X chromosome.
In this type of inheritance, if a father is diseased and mother is unaffected, then all the daughters would carry the disease as daughters get an X chromosome from their father.
No son would be diseased as they only get a Y chromosome instead of the X chromosome from father.
When the mother is affected (heterozygous, that is, only one X chromosome carries dominant allele) and father is unaffected, then half of the sons and half of the daughters would carry the disease as mother passes X chromosome to both the son and daughter.
