(b) Zygotene

Explanation:

During zygotene, a substage of Prophase I of meiosis I, where chromosomes start pairing together is called synapsis. Such paired chromosomes are called as homologous chromosomes. A complex structure i.e., synaptonemal complex is formed by a pair of synapsed homologous chromosomes called a bivalent or a tetrad.
