Answer #1

Answer: Option D is correct

Explanation: Bivalents are formed during the Zygotene stage of Meiosis I.Here in this stage homologous pairing takes place to form a structure known as Divalent or Bivalent formation.

Now by crossing the different stages of Meiosis I as Prophase I(Leptotene ,Zygotene, Pachytene,Diplotene and Diakinesis) the chromosome undergo the next stage as Metaphase I ,Anaphase I and then towards Telophase I. In the stage of Anaphase I chromosome movement takes place towards the opposite poles(which contain the two arms(chromatin) as well as exchanged genetic material hich is obtained from Pachytene stage. Here in the anaphase I there is no spliting of centromere so there is also no internodal fiber formation takes place.
