Solution

The correct answer is sex-limited. This is because the presence of ovaries in females and testes in males is limited to one sex or the other. Sex-influenced traits can appear in both sexes but are influenced by the sex of the individual, and sex-linked traits are associated with genes found on sex chromosomes. However, the presence of ovaries or testes is strictly limited to one sex or the other, hence it is a sex-limited trait.
