Ans.

The process that involves exchange of genetic material between homologous chromosomes, is known as crossing over.  It occurs during meiosis I (between prophase I and metaphase I).

Crossing over is responsible for the variation in organisms as it makes new genetic combinations in the offspring that are absent in either parents and thus, contribute to genetic diversity.

Thus, the correct answer is 'crossing over.'
