The correct answer is: DNA replication occurs in S phase of meiosis-II

In meiosis there are two consecutive cell division events without intervening G1, S and G2 phases between meiosis I and meiosis II.

So, there is no S phase before meiosis II and no DNA replication will happen before meiosis II.
