(a) Meiosis is a reduction division, whereas mitosis is an equational cell division. 

(b) The diploid cell becomes a haploid one when meiosis I separates the pair of homologous chromosomes. By segregating the pair of homologous chromosomes, meiosis-I lowers the diploid cell and creates haploid cells. During leptotene, the chromosomes start to condense and achieve a compact shape.

(c) The formation of daughter cells takes place in the Telophase stage of meiosis I now the chromosome number is halved than the chromosome number of the parent cell.

Hence, option 3 is the correct answer.
