Duchenne's muscular dystrophy is caused by a mutation on the X chromosome, and it is inherited in an X-linked recessive pattern. This means that males are more commonly affected because they only have one X chromosome, while females have two and are more likely to be carriers.

Therefore, the correct answer is A) is an X-linked recessive trait.
