Answer:

X-linked recessive

Step-by-step explanation:

The trait is a sex-linked trait because the daughters are not colorblind, but the sons are. We know this its recessive because the daughters have inherited the mother's X chromosome that has the colourblindness trait, but are not colorblind because the father's X does not have the colourblindness trait. The sons are colourblind because they inherited the X from their mother with the colourblindnese trait and a Y from their father. The colourblindness trait or normal vision trait is not carried on the Y, so the mother's X chromosome's trait is expressed.

Sorry if it's confusing i tried my best to explain it
