1. (a) Correct
2. (b) Incorrect
3. (c) Partially correct
4. (d) None of these

Correct answer: (a) Correct

Solution

Crossing over occurs during the pachytene stage of prophase-I in meiosis, where homologous chromosomes exchange genetic material. The diagram likely represents this process, making the statement true.
