Solution

The correct option is D Separated due to crossing over
Crossing over causes segments of chromosomes or genetic material to be transferred between two non-sister chromatids of homologous chromosomes. This causes recombination. Hence, in the case of crossing over, the linked characters may not always inherit together.

So, the correct answer is 'Separated due to crossing over'.
