Solution(By Examveda Team)

The phenomenon in which the occurrence of one crossing over in chromosome interferes with the second crossing over in neighboring segments is Interference.
Interference is the term used to refer to the non-random placement of crossovers concerning each other during meiosis.
One crossover "interferes with the coincident occurrence of another crossing over in the same pair of chromosomes, and I have accordingly termed this phenomenon ‘interference’."
