Explanation:

To determine the phase of meiosis where homologous chromosomes line up at the cell's equator, we analyze each option:

• Anaphase I: Homologous chromosomes separate, not line up.
• Metaphase I: Homologous chromosome pairs (tetrads) align at the cell's equator.
• Anaphase II: Sister chromatids separate.
• Prophase II: Chromosomes condense, no alignment at equator.
• Metaphase II: Sister chromatids (of haploid cells) align, not homologous chromosomes.

So the correct phase is Metaphase I.

Answer:

B. Metaphase I (assuming the options are labeled A - E with Metaphase I as one of them; in the given options, the purple - colored option "Metaphase I" is the correct one)
