Solution

The correct option is D Two cycle of DNA replication occur
Meiosis is a specialized type of cell division that reduces the chromosome number by half, creating four haploid cells. In meiosis, DNA replication is followed by two rounds of cell division to produce four daughter cells, each with half the number of chromosomes as the original parent cell. The two meiotic divisions are known as Meiosis I and Meiosis II.
So, the correct option is 'two cycles of DNA replication occur'.
