  • A
    metaphase $I$
  • B
    anaphase $II$
  • prophase $I$
  • D
    prophase $II.$

Correct option: C.
prophase $I$
c
(c) : During gamete formation, the enzyme recombinase participates during pachytene stage of prophase $I$. This stage is characterized by the appearance of recombination nodules, the sites at which crossing over occurs between non­sister chromatids of the homologous chromosomes. Crossing over is the exchange of genetic material between two homologous chromosomes. Crossing over is also an enzyme­mediated process and the enzyme involved is called recombinase.
