Correct option (c) linkage

Explanation

TH Morgan (1910) explained the lack of independent assortment in Drosophila due to the linkage. When genes closely present adhere or link together in a group and transmitted as a single unit, the phenomenon is called linkage. It stops the process of independent assortment. Incomplete linkage is broken down due to the crossing over.
