    C)  Chromosomal disorder

    D)  Dominant gene disorder

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

     Genes related with hemophilia are always present on X chromosome and it is a recessive gene disorder as it expresses itself in females when it comes a homozygous condition. It causes a defect in the clotting factor formation, thus a simple cut can bleed continuously leading to even death. Thus, it is also known as ?Bleeders? disease or ?Royal Disease? as Queen Victoria is a carrier for this disease.
