    The correct option is B.

    Explanation:

    If a gene is present on any one of the sex chromosomes that is X chromosome or Y chromosome is termed as a sex-linked trait. It is because of the sex of the individual that influences expression of the gene. There are other 22 pairs of chromosomes (humans) that are non-sex chromosomes. these are termed as autosomes.
