Answer #1

Homologous recombination brings the genetic diversity by swapping the parental DNA. Genetic diversity occurs when the two different DNAs are swapped (one from father and other from the mother).

In DNA replication, DNA belonging to one person replicates to form exact copy of that strand. It doesn't bring genetic diversity.

DNA repair also causes the conversion of defective segment into the original normal segment. It doesn't cause any diversity.

Transposition means movement of one DNA segment from one genomic site to other genomic site.

During the process of Meiosis, homologous recombination occurs prophase 1. During this phase, chromosomal segments line in pairs and swap their DNA to bring about genetic diversity.

Answer is meiosis.
