Solution

The correct option is B Recombination of alleles
Crossing over, or recombination is the exchange of chromosome segments between non-sister chromatids in meiosis. Crossing over creates new combinations of genes in the gametes that are not found in either parent, contributing to genetic diversity.

So, the correct answer is 'Recombination of alleles'.
