Solution

Haemophilia

Explanation:

Haemophilia is a sex-linked recessive disorder caused by a gene mutation on the X-chromosome. It predominantly affects males because males have only one X-chromosome, so a single defective gene causes the disease. In contrast, Phenylketonuria, Diabetes mellitus, and Thalassaemia are autosomal disorders and are not linked to sex chromosomes.
