Sex-linked genetic conditions are more common in males because:

Males typically have one X chromosome and one Y chromosome, so they have only one copy of most genes on the X chromosome. If that X carries a disease-causing variant, there usually isn’t another X-linked copy to mask it, making some sex-linked conditions more common in males. Thus, the correct choice is “males only have one copy of the X chromosome.”
