Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

Genetic variation can be created by random mating, random fertilization, and recombination between homologous chromosomes during meiosis. I think b and c can be ruled out because they are relatively unlikely in themselves. D seems to be most likely due to RNA splicing and other methods that occur to avoid those errors.
