Answer A would be your answer because genes that are located on the same chromosome are inherited together.

Answer 2

Genes located on the same chromosome and inherited together

Step-by-step explanation:

An independent assortment of genes require their presence of separate chromosomes or they should be located far enough on the same chromosome to allow crossing over. The linked genes are present on the same chromosome and do not exhibit crossing over. They are passed down to the daughter cells together.
