Solution

The correct option is C Chromatids are attached
The centromere is the specialized DNA sequence of a chromosome that links a pair of sister chromatids. During mitosis, spindle fibers attach to the centromere via the kinetochore and helps to keep chromosomes properly aligned when cells divide.
So, the correct answer is 'Chromatids are attached'.
