(I NEED THIS ASAP PLEASE) How are the processes of meiosis I and meiosis II different?

A. Meiosis I results in two genetically unique haploid cells, while meiosis II results in four diploid cells that are genetically identical.
B. Meiosis I results in four genetically unique haploid cells, while meiosis II results in two diploid cells that are genetically identical.
C. During meiosis I, crossing over in prophase I allows for the random exchange of genetic material, while the process of meiosis II does not include crossing over.
D. During meiosis II, crossing over in prophase II allows for the random exchange of genetic material, while the process of meiosis I does not include crossing over.

In meiosis I, homologous chromosomes separate, while in meiosis II, sister chromatids separate. Meiosis II produces 4 haploid daughter cells, whereas meiosis I produces 2 diploid daughter cells. Genetic recombination (crossing over) only occurs in meiosis I. D
