Solution

The correct option is B Anaphase I
The chiasmata is the point where two homologus non-sister chromatids exchange genetic material during crossing over. It becomes visible at the diplotene stage of prophase I. It links homologous chromosomes together till anaphase I and gets separated. So the correct answer is 'Anaphase I'.
