Answer:

B. It has pairs of matching chromosomes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Homologous chromosomes are specific chromosomal set where two chromosomes contain almost centromere position, same length, same sequence of genes and similar staining pattern.In simple words we can say that these are the chromosomes that match with each other and are found in pairs. All the diploid organisms like human beings contain homologous chromosomes (a set of two chromosomes where one is i inherited from father and other from mother)/. These chromosomes due to their similar alignment play an important role in reproduction of organisms. where one is inherited from each parent and joined in the daughter organism to bring the beautiful creature into existence.

Hope it help!
