    The correct answer is: C) the random and independent way in which each pair of homologous chromosomes lines upat the metaphase plate during meiosis I

    Independent assortment is the second Mendel's law which states that the alleles of two/more different genes are sorted into gametes independently.

    When homologous pairs line up during the metaphase at meiosis I they do that random. This means that formed gametes will get different combinations of "mom" and "dad" homologues and consequently, different alleles on those homologues.
