Solution
The correct option is D Synapsis
Homologous chromosomes pair in a process called as synapsis during zygotene phase of prophase I of meiosis I. It allows matching-up of homologous pairs prior to their segregation and possible chromosomal crossover between them. Synapsis takes place during prophase I of meiosis. When homologous chromosomes synapse, their ends are first attached to the nuclear envelope. These end-membrane complexes then migrate, assisted by the extranuclear cytoskeleton, until matching ends have been paired. Then the intervening regions of the chromosome are brought together, and may be connected by a protein-RNA complex .
