Answer:

3) sex-linked

Step-by-step explanation:

It is carried by the sex chromosomes, mainly the X chromosome. An individual has the disease when he gets an X chromosome bearing the disease from a carrier or infected mother or both two X chromosomes each bearing the disease, one from each parent. Thus in the case of a girl... Hence, it is sex-linked
