Well it's definitely not C, because individuals II7, II3 could not have an unaffected child if the disease was recessive

Thus it's either autosomal or sexlinked dominant.

If it's autosomal dominant, then both II7 and II3 must be heterozygous for there to possibly be an unaffacted child. Likewise for sexlinked dominant. Hence it's B

So it's not A because it could be autosomal OR sexlinked dominant
