    B. It allows for genetic variation.

    Explanation:

    As prophase progresses, homologous chromosomes come to lie side by side and become intertwined rather like a zipper. This process is called synapsis. During synapsis, homologous chromosomes exchange genetic material between one another which allows for genetic variation. This exchange is called crossing over.
