I'm a little confused on a question I saw "A homologous chromosomal pair failed to separate during meiosis I of anaphase. The resulting cells would be:"

a) n-1, n-1, n+1, n+1
b) n+1, n-1, n, n
c) n, n, n, n+1
d) n-1, n-1, n, n
3 n+1, n+1, 2n, 2n

Would anyone be able to clarify this?

See if this image helps make sense of it.

The image on the left is nondisjunction during anaphase I. The image on the right is nondisjunction during anaphase II.
