Solution

The correct option is C Law of segregation
The principle of segregation is also called as the law of purity of gametes. A gamete may carry either the dominant or the recessive factor but not both as we find in F1 individuals. The gametes which are formed are always pure for a particular character. This is why it is called either as the principle of segregation or law of purity of gametes. Thus, the correct answer is option C.
