Solution

The correct option is D Prophase I
Condensation of chromatin occurs during the prophase stage. In meiotic cell division, the mother cell divides twice after one round of replication. In meiosis, condensation occurs during prophase I which is long and complex stage. Condensation also occurs in prophase II, even though prophase II is not elaborate as prophase I.
