Solution

The correct option is B first division is reductional and second is equational
Meiosis is a special type of cell division in which the chromosomes divide once but the cell divide twice.
It is divided into two stages the first stage called Meiosis I and it is also called reductional division and includes steps
Prophase I subdivided into Leptotene, Zygotene, Pachytene, Diplotene, and Diakinesis
Metaphase I
Anaphase I
Telophase I
Meiosis II is also called equational division is further divided into
Prophase II
Metaphase II
Anaphase II
Telophase II
So the correct option is "first division is reductional and second is equational".
