    a. it maximizes the mutation rate of DNA

    Explanation:

    b. False

    In fact, it maximizes due to the crossing over process that occurs in metaphase.

    c. False

    "Crossing over" doesn't change the chromosomes individually, but in homologue pairs.

    d. False

    It is a random process

    e. False

    It doesn't double the number of chromosomes, but the genetic load
