The homologous chromosomes remain united by chiasmata.

(C) During the $diplotene$ stage of $Meiosis-I$,the synaptonemal complex dissolves,and the homologous chromosomes of the bivalents start to separate from each other except at the sites of crossovers. These $X$-shaped structures are called $chiasmata$. Thus,the homologous chromosomes remain united by $chiasmata$ during this stage.
