Solution

The correct option is A Metaphase I
In metaphase I, homologous chromosomes lie side by side along the equatorial plate. The two members of each homologous pair of chromosomes are attached to spindle fibres from opposite poles.

In anaphases of both mitosis and meiosis, homologous chromosomes or sister chromatids move towards the opposite poles.
