Solution

The correct option is D Diakinesis
The two homologous chromosomes do not completely separate but it remains attached together at one or more points as indicated by X arrangements known as Chiasmata. The displacement of Chiasmata is termed as terminalization which is completed in Diakinesis stage.
So the correct option is D.
