Answer»

Right option is (d) EXPRESSED only in MEN

Easy explanation: A Y linked gene is expressed only in men and never in females as females lack a Y chromosome. It is not expressed in homozygous, rather in hemizygous for as its present only in a SINGLE copy. The REGION near that telomere is common for both sex chromosomes, so it is not sex linked.
