Solution

The correct option is D (ii), (iv), (iii), (i)
Pairing of homologous chromosomes occurs in zygotene and crossing over occurs in pachytene stage of prophase of meiosis I. Paired chromosomes line up on equatorial plane in metaphase I. Then there is complete separation of chromatids in anaphase I of meiosis I.
So, the correct sequence is (ii), (iv), (iii), (i).
Therefore, option (d) is correct.
