Answer:

A. happens during meiosis I.

Step-by-step explanation:

In meiosis I, homologous pairs align independently on the equator. All possible combinations of chromosomes can occur among the gametes. Genetic variation is increased by crossing-over. (union of female and male gametes) produces random combinations.
