The correct answer is: a -(ii), b -(iii), c -(iv), d -(i)
In leptotene, condensation of chromosomes starts to form chromosomes; then in zygotene, homologous chromosomes come together to for pair known as synapsis. Crossing over or recombination occurs in pachytene and chiasmata becomes visible in diplotene.
