Solution

The correct option is B
Metaphase

Metaphase is the best time to count and study the number and morphology of chromosomes. The distinctly visible chromosomes arrange themselves at the equatorial or metaphase plate. The centromeres lie at the equatorial plate while the arms are placed variously according to their size and spiral arrangement.
