Solution

The correct option is A No division
Meiosis is the cell division which results in the formation of four haploid cells from the diploid parent cell. The process is divided into two phases, meiosis I and meiosis II. In meiosis I, the chromosomes move towards the opposite poles without breaking of the centromeres. In the meiosis II, there is a breaking of the centromeres which result in the separation of the chromatids. Thus, the correct answer is option A.
