If you clearly understand the difference between a character and a trait there would be no problem in picking the right answer.
Character is a heritable feature, such as the height, colour of a flower. The height may be short and tall; the colour may be while, blue, red etc.These are the variants of characters.Each variant of a character is called a trait. For example, while flower is a trait, red flower is also a trait. Each trait is represented by an allele. The allele is either dominant for a pair or recessive for a pair. Both the alleles of a pair may be dominant.Both the alleles may be recessive. In a pair of alleles, one may be dominant and other may be recessive.If both the alleles exert equal pressure, they are called co-dominant. Each allele is represented by a copy of gene.
The choice C is correct but the wording of the choice is not.The wording should be "two alleles of a character separate during meiosis."
Check with your teacher.

It's C, two alleles for a trait separate during meiosis. Please do your homework by yourself.
