Solution

The correct option is C Crossing over
Chromosomal crossover is the exchange of genetic material between homologous chromosomes that results in recombinant chromosomes. It is one of the final phases of genetic recombination, which occurs during prophase I of meiosis (pachytene) during a process called as synapsis.
