Answer:
The correct answer is option C.
Explanation:
Before meiosis, DNA that is stacked into chromosomes must replicate. Before replication, the sex cell has two copies of each chromosome, one from mother, and one from father.
DNA replication takes place in the same manner as it does during mitosis. After the chromosome replication, the homologs are double in number, and each chromosome now has a homologous pair of chromosomes.
Thus, the correct answer is option C.
