D.

Answer

Answer: Option D

Solution

Answer: Option D
Solution:
The Lampbrush chromosome is found in Diplotene.
Lampbrush chromosomes are a special form of chromosome found in the growing oocytes (immature eggs) of most animals, except mammals. They were first described by Walther Flemming and Ruckert in 1882.
Chromosomes transform into the lampbrush form during the diplotene stage of meiotic prophase I due to the active transcription of many genes.
