Answer: 3. DNA replication occurs in S phase of Meiosis-II

Key idea: DNA replicates only once in meiosis, in the S phase before meiosis I. Meiosis II has no S phase.

Option 1: meiosis II ends with four haploid cells, true.
Option 2: meiosis has two stages, I and II, true.
Option 3: DNA replication in S phase of meiosis II is false. Only a short interphase (interkinesis) may occur, with no DNA replication.
Option 4: pairing (synapsis) and crossing over occur in prophase I, true.
