The correct statement is:
**These individuals are different from the parental phenotypes, which proves genes sort independently of one another.**
This is because, in a dihybrid cross, if the offspring display phenotypes that are different from the parental types, it indicates that the genes for the traits (body color and eye color in this case) are segregating independently according to Mendel's law of independent assortment.
