Solution

The correct option is D 92
The human cell contains 46 chromosomes in which there are 22 pair of autosomes and one pair of sex chromosome. When the cell is in the mitotic stage of metaphase, there are chromosomes which are in the duplicated stage. So, there are 46 chromosomes and 92 DNA molecules.
Thus, the correct answer is option D.
