Solution

The correct option is D Chromosomes move to the spindle equator and get aligned along equatorial plate in metaphase.
Metaphase is a stage of mitosis in the eukaryotic cell cycle in which chromosomes are at their second-most condensed and coiled stage. These chromosomes, carrying genetic information, align in the equator of the cell before being separated into each of the two daughter cells. Metaphase accounts for approximately 4% of the cell cycle's duration. Preceded by events in prometaphase and followed by anaphase, microtubules formed in prophase have already found and attached themselves to kinetochores in metaphase.

So the correct option is 'Chromosomes move to the spindle equator and get aligned along equatorial plate in metaphase.'
