Solution

The correct option is B diplotene

Prophase I is divided into five phases: leptotene, zygotene, pachytene, diplotene, and diakinesis. Diplotene is the fourth stage of the prophase of meiosis, following pachytene, during which the paired chromosomes begin to separate into two pairs of chromatids.
