Which best describes independent assortment? In metaphase 1, chromosomes from the mother and father line up on opposite sides of the cell.
In metaphase 1, chromosomes from the mother and father line up randomly along the middle of the cell.
Portions of each chromosome switch sections in the mother’s and father’s chromosomes.
Portions of each chromosome break off and reattach to the original chromosome. ≈∫ plz hurry

The second one.

Explanation:

During metaphase, each of the 46 chromosomes line up along the center of the cell at the metaphase plate.

you are certainly talking about this picture:

a: is the label of the white square, it is showing the  replication fork, formed by helicase (d) ==> so it is the site of dna separation and replication 

b: is a new dna brand that is following directly the replication fork, so it is continuous ==> built continuously from 5' to 3

c: dna polymerase cannot replicate dna on its own, it needs the of their proteins, and one of them plays the role of a clamp which fixes  the dna with the dna template and increases  the processivity of the enzyme. ==>   stops polymerase from falling off the  template.

d: is the enzyme responsible for forming the replication fork (helicase) ==> unwinds and separates dna into two strands

e: is the delayed strand, it is built  in the opposite sense of the helicase, so dna will be built in fragments ==> built  fragments from 5' to 3 joins

and finally f: is the enzyme that builds  the new dna strand (dna polymerase) ==>   adds nucleotides to make a new dna helix.
