Correct Answer: Pachytene
Solution : The correct option is Pachytene.
Crossing over, also known as genetic recombination, occurs during meiosis I's pachytene stage.

By generating novel combinations of alleles on the chromatids of homologous chromosomes, this exchange of genetic material adds to genetic diversity among children.
