Solution

The correct option is B Interkinesis
Preparatory phase before cell division leads to the synthesis of cellular proteins which actively participates in cell division. The gap between meiosis I and II is called as interkinesis. It is a period of rest for the cells where no DNA replication occurs during interkinesis, however, it does occur during the interphase I stage of meiosis.
So, the correct answer is option B.
