Solution
The correct option is C Crossing over
Crossing over is a process by which chromatids of homologous chromosomes exchange portions of genetic material, usually during tetrad formation of meiosis. Crossing over occurs at pachytene sub stage of prophase I of meiosis but visible at diplotene substage of prophase I. It helps in the mixing of characters and thus both parental and recombinant forms are produced.
