Solution

The correct option is D Both Assertion and Reason are incorrect
The final stage of meiotic prophase I is diakinesis. This is marked by terminalisation of chiasmata. During this phase the chromosomes are fully condensed and the meiotic spindle is assembled to prepare the homologous chromosomes for separation. Diakinesis represents end of Prophase I and transition to metaphase.
