The correct option is: (a) It involves two stages of DNA replication one before meiosis-I and another before meiosis-II.

Explanation:

Meiosis has two M-phases each with its own karyokinesis and cytokinesis. As a result, chromosome number is halved. The transition period between M-phase I (meiosis I) and M-phase II (meiosis II) is short and without DNA replication. It is called interkinesis.
