Solution

The correct option is B 1st Metaphase of Meiosis
During the 1st metaphase of meiosis, the homologous chromosomes arrange themselves along the equatorial plane in such a way that the centromeres are facing the poles and the arms are facing the plane.

During the metaphase of mitosis, the chromosomes arrange themselves along the equatorial plane with the centromeres along the plane and the sister chromatids facing the poles.

The 2nd metaphase is exactly the same as that of mitosis.

The 2nd anaphase is when the spindle fibres shrink and pull the sister chromatids away from each other and the centromere splits in the center.
