A Correct answer
Explanation

During meiosis I, homologous chromosomes separate during anaphase-I, reducing the chromosome number from diploid (2n) to haploid (n). This is where chromosomes become half. In anaphase-II (meiosis II), sister chromatids separate but the chromosome number remains haploid. Telophase stages are when division completes, and metaphase is when chromosomes align.
