The right answer is 1.

In telophase I of meiosis, we observe a disappearance of the mitotic spindle created in metaphase, then a separation and individualization in 2 cells by cytodieseresis. Each cell is haploid, that is to say it has a copy of each chromosome. Each chromosome remained duplicated (n chromosomes with 2 chromatids),
