homologous chromosomes
consist of a maternal and paternal copy of each chromosome.
are only in the cell during s phase.
are only found in bacterial cells.
consist of six sister chromatids that are held together at the centrosome.

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Homologous chromosomes are chromosome pairs, one from each parent, that are similar in length, gene position, and centromere location. They are present in most somatic cells throughout the cell - cycle, not just in the S - phase, not only in bacterial cells (bacteria have circular DNA, not linear chromosomes in homologous pairs), and do not consist of six sister chromatids held at the centrosome.

Answer:

A. consist of a maternal and paternal copy of each chromosome.
