Answer:

b. on the X chromosome

Step-by-step explanation:

Sex-linked genes refer to genes located on sex chromosomes that are involved in determining traits. In humans, the male sex chromosome Y has few sex-linked genes. Already, the female sex chromosome X has a large amount of genes involved in determining various gender-related characteristics, so it has become usual to determine that the genes described as sex-linked are located on the x-chromosome.
