Correct Answer: Haemophilia


Solution : The correct option is Haemophilia.

Haemophilia is a sex-linked genetic condition in humans. A mutation in the genes responsible for blood clotting factors causes it, resulting in prolonged, and profuse bleeding, even from mild injuries. Because haemophilia is inherited on the X chromosome, it is more frequent in men. Females are frequently carriers of the gene, which they can pass on to their sons.
