The correct answer is:
B. It causes more variation in the traits of offspring.
Chromosomal crossover during meiosis allows for the exchange of genetic material between homologous chromosomes, which leads to new combinations of alleles. This increased genetic variation contributes to the diversity of traits observed in the offspring.
