Solution

The correct option is C Prophse I during meiosis
Meiosis occurs in two stages: meiosis I and meiosis II. The meiosis I is characterized by a pairing of homologous chromosomes, crossing over and separation of homologous chromosomes. These events occur in prophase stage of meiosis I.
The prophase I is a very long and elaborate stage of meiotic division. The chromosome number gets reduced to one half in meiosis I.
The meiosis II is characterized by splitting of centromere and separation of sister chromatids.
Hence, the correct option is C.
