The image you described, showing non-homologous chromosomes lining up during metaphase I of meiosis, is depicting **Mendel's law of independent assortment**.
This law states that allele pairs segregate independently during the formation of gametes. Therefore, the orientation of one pair of homologous chromosomes does not influence the orientation of another pair, leading to genetic variation in the offspring.
So the correct answer is:
**D. Mendel's law of independent assortment**.
