Best answer
Correct Answer - C
The sexual reproduction brings about variation through genetic recombinations. First of all, genetic recombination occurs in non-homologous chromosomes during crossing over of pachytene stage in meiotic cell division.
Secondly, the random union of gametes also contributes in forming new combinations of characters. Other options a, b and d do not contribute in the formatioinfo progenies with new variations.
