Answer:

C. a gamete produced has 2 of the same alleles after meiosis II

Step-by-step explanation:

Gregor Mendel's law of segregation states that the alleles of a gene will separate into gametes during gamete formation (meiosis). According to Mendel, this separation takes place in such a way that only one allele of the same gene will be present in each gamete at the end of both meiotic division.

Hence, according to this question, a gamete produced which has 2 of the same alleles after meiosis II breaks the law of segregation. This is because only one type of allele should be present in each gamete.
