The correct option is D Law of independent assortment
A dihybrid cross is a cross between individuals heterozygous at two different loci. when a teacher asks the student to state the second law of Mendel then the Law of independent assortment should be stated by the student because Mendel's second law is also known as the law of independent assortment.
