Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
Meiosis is a reduction division which reduces the chromosomes number to half in gametes. Since, it is a special kind of cell division in which exchange of genetic material takes place that brings about variation in next generations. So all options are characteristic features of meiotic cell division.
