Answer:

The sentence "Stags have more prominent antlers than does" does not describe a sex-limited trait.

A sex-limited trait is a trait that is present in both sexes but is expressed differently depending on the sex of the individual. For example, male pattern baldness is a sex-limited trait because it is present in both males and females but is expressed differently in males (with greater hair loss) than in females.

The sentence given in the question describes a sexually dimorphic trait, which is a trait that is different between males and females of the same species. In this case, antlers are larger and more prominent in male deer (stags) than in female deer (does).
