Correct answer: C
As in the $\mathrm{F}_1$ generation the carrier female and non-affected (normal, not carrier) had affected male child that means the genetic disorder is sex-linked recessive.
The consanguineous mating between female ( $X^c X$ ) and male ( $X^c Y$ )

Out of 4 child only one is carrier i.e. $\frac{1}{4}$.
