Solution

The correct option is D Spindle formation
  • The centrosome is a cellular organelle which is the main microtubule organizing centre in an animal cell which also regulates the process of cell-cycle.
  • They are made up of 2 centrioles which are right angled to each other and is composed of a protein known as tubulin.
  • Its main function is to organize microtubules (spindle fibres) and pull chromatids apart during cell division.
  • So, the correct answer is 'Spindle formation'.
