The correct answer is: Autosomal dominant
The given pedigree analysis is showing autosomal dominant trait. If such a trait is present in pedigree, it seldom skips a generation. An autosomal recessive trait may skip a generation. A sex-linked dominant trait is more common in females while a sex-linked recessive trait is more common in males.
