Answer

Brief Explanations:

Nondisjunction occurs when chromosomes fail to separate properly during cell - division. In meiosis II, sister chromatids should separate. If homologous chromosomes (which separate in meiosis I) or sister chromatids fail to separate, it results in nondisjunction. Polyploidy is related to an increase in the number of whole chromosome sets and not directly to a meiosis II error described here. Recombination occurs during meiosis I when homologous chromosomes exchange genetic material. Independent assortment also occurs during meiosis I and is about the random alignment of homologous chromosome pairs.

Answer:

C. Homologous chromosomes failed to separate, resulting in nondisjunction.
