A.
Sex limited trait
B.
Sex influenced trait
Answer
C.
Sex inherited trait
D.
Sex linked trait

Answer: Option B

Solution

Answer: Option B
Solution:
Baldness is Sex influenced trait.
Sex-influenced traits are due to genes on autosomes, and their expression is variable between the sexes.
This is different from sex-limited traits, where generally only one sex is affected.
An example of this is some forms of baldness, which can affect both males and females, though it's more common in males.
