Solution

The correct option is D Homologous chromosomes; sister chromatids
Meiosis is divided into two phases, meiosis I and meiosis II. In the anaphase I of the meiosis I, there is separation and distribution of the homologous chromosomes in the two cells. In the anaphase II of meiosis II, there is the separation of the duplicated or the sister chromatids into the two cells.
Thus, the correct answer is option A.
