Solution

The correct option is A Segregation
According to Mendel's second law of inheritance or the law of segregation, members of an allelic pair in hybrid remain together without mixing with each other and segregate during gamete formation. Thus, gametes receive only one of the two factors and are pure for a given trait. Hence this law is also known as the Law of Purity of Gametes.
So, the correct option is 'Segregation'.
