Solution

The correct option is C
homologous chromosomes

Alleles are the alternate forms of the same gene. Usually a pair of allele controls a phenotypic character in an organism. Out of this pair, one allele is contributed by the mother and other one is contributed by the father. Hence, alleles of genes are found on homologous chromosomes.
