Solution

The correct option is A Diakinesis
The homologus chromosomes are attached at multiple points in order for recombination (known as chaismata) before diakinesis. During diakinesis (last stage of prophase-I in meiosis-1) these attachments start moving towards the edges (terminal ends) of the chromosome and thus the non sister chromatids are linked to each other by these points only until they are separated in anaphase 1.
