I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is the first option. The circumstances that this condition would manifest would be if the child is a male and its mother has the recessive allele. X-linked recessive inheritance is a mode of inheritance in which a mutation in a gene on the X chromosome causes the phenotype to be expressed in males and in females who are homozygous for the gene mutation
