Answer:

Option c

Step-by-step explanation:

A recessive trait will only appear if the if two recessive alleles for a trait are present. if present coupled with a dominant allele, its effect will be masked by the dominant allele. Although for an X linked condition that shows the recessive pattern of inheritance. In the males, they only need to have just one copy of that particular recessive allele.

Recessive allele or genes is the gene that is not expressed in a trait when there a dorminant gene. It's effect is always masked by dorminant gene .

A recessive trait can be expressed phenotypically if a person inherit

For example the recessive allele for dwarf is t. If a person inherit two receive allele for dwarf need (tt), the dwarf trait will be expressed phenotypically.
