Solution

The correct option is B In diplotene of meiosis
Diplotene: Homologous chromosomes begin to separate but remain attached by chiasmata. Synaptonemal complex degrades and the chromosomes separate from one another, a small amount giving this appearance. It is possible that some chromosome uncoiling may also occur allowing some gene transcription. Lampbrush chromosomes are visible during this stage.
