The correct answer to the question about the phase where homologous chromosomes separate is meiosis I.

Explanation:

1. During meiosis I, the homologous chromosomes are separated into two different cells. This is a crucial step in the formation of gametes (sperm and egg cells), ensuring that each gamete contains only one chromosome from each homologous pair, resulting in a haploid number of chromosomes.
2. Meiosis II, on the other hand, resembles mitosis and involves the separation of sister chromatids, rather than homologous chromosomes.
3. Mitosis does not involve the separation of homologous chromosomes; instead, it results in two identical diploid daughter cells.

In summary, out of the provided answer choices, meiosis I is the phase where homologous chromosomes separate.
