When a zygote is formed, by the female and male gametes, it starts a process called genetic recombination, where the sister chromatid exchanges material giving offspring with different alleles. This process is known as DNA crossing over.

So the answer is B.

Where in the second meiosis you have as a result recombinant chromatids.
