Answer

To determine the correct sequence of events during meiosis, we need to understand the stages involved in this process. Meiosis consists of two rounds of cell division (meiosis I and meiosis II) and includes several key events. Here’s a step-by-step breakdown of the correct sequence:

### Step-by-Step Solution:

1. **Condensation**: The first event in meiosis is the condensation of chromatin into visible chromosomes. This occurs during prophase I, where the long, thin chromatids become compact and form distinct chromosomes.

2. **Crossing Over**: After condensation, homologous chromosomes undergo crossing over. This is the exchange of genetic material between non-sister chromatids, which increases genetic diversity. This event also occurs during prophase I.

3. **Nuclear Membrane Disassembly**: Following crossing over, the nuclear membrane disassembles. This allows the spindle fibers to access the chromosomes for the next stages of meiosis.

4. **Segregation**: During anaphase I and anaphase II, the homologous chromosomes (in anaphase I) and sister chromatids (in anaphase II) are pulled apart and segregated into different daughter cells.

5. **Telophase**: Finally, during telophase I and telophase II, the nuclear membrane re-forms around the separated chromosomes, resulting in the formation of two nuclei in each daughter cell.

### Conclusion:
The correct sequence of events during meiosis is:
1. Condensation
2. Crossing Over
3. Nuclear Membrane Disassembly
4. Segregation
5. Telophase

Thus, the correct option is the third option provided in the question.
