Match the stages of meiosis in Column-$I$ to their characteristic features in Column-$II$ and select the correct option using the codes given below.

Column-$I$	Column-$II$
$(A)$ Pachytene	$(i)$ Pairing of homologous chromosomes
$(B)$ Metaphase-$I$	$(ii)$ Terminalisation of chiasmata
$(C)$ Diakinesis	$(iii)$ Crossing-over takes place
$(D)$ Zygotene	$(iv)$ Chromosomes align at equatorial plate

• A
  $A-(iii), B-(iv), C-(ii), D-(i)$
• B
  $A-(i), B-(iv), C-(ii), D-(iii)$
• C
  $A-(ii), B-(iv), C-(iii), D-(i)$
• D
  $A-(iv), B-(iii), C-(ii), D-(i)$
