Solution

The correct option is A Homologous chromosomes
Homologous chromosomes are chromosome pairs (one from each parent) that are similar in length, gene position, and centromere location. The position of the genes on each homologous chromosome is the same, however, the genes may contain different alleles. So the correct option is "Homologous chromosomes".
