Solution

The correct option is A Prophase
Meiosis is a reductional division which is comprised of meiosis-I and II. In meiosis-I, the prophase-I is the longest phase. The prophase is divided into 5 stages in which the process of recombination takes place which is responsible for genetic variation. The sequence of the stages are Leptotene, Zygotene, Pachytene, Diplotene and Diakinesis.
Thus, the correct answer is option A.
