C. Alleles are passed from the parents’ sex chromosomes to the sex chromosomes in the offspring.

Answer: The correct answer is -

Option C)

Explanation:

Sex linked traits are those that are carried by genes present on the sex chromosomes ( that are XX for females and XY for males).

This means that gene variants (alleles) are transferred from sex chromosome of parents (through fertilization of male and female gametes) to the sex chromosome in offspring.

Example of sex linked traits- Colorblindness, Hemophilia A.

Thus, option C) is the right answer.
