Answer:

e. y-linked

Step-by-step explanation:

Because women have XX chromosomes they will inherit an X from their mom and an X from their dad.

However, men have XY chromosomes so they inherit an X from their mom and a Y from their dad.

If the father had a trait attached to his y chromosome he would not pass it to his daughters, but it would pass on to his sons.
