B Correct answer
Explanation

Haemophilia is historically associated with European royal families, particularly Queen Victoria's descendants, earning it the nickname 'the royal disease.' The genetic mutation was passed through the royal houses of Britain, Germany, Russia, and Spain through Victoria's offspring. This occurred because royal intermarriage concentrated the X-linked recessive gene within these families.
