Solution

The correct option is D cell plate method and furrow method after karyokinesis
Cell division includes two phases, karyokinesis and cytokinesis. Karyokinesis is division of nucleus and cytokinesis is division of cytoplasm which leads to the formation of two daughter cells.

Cytokinesis occurs after the karyokinesis. The method of cytokinesis differs in plant and animal cells.

In animal cells, a cleavage furrow is formed which ultimately deepens and divides the cytoplasm of the cell.

In plant cells, due to the presence of a rigid cell wall, the process of cytokinesis differs from animals. In plant cells, a cell plate is formed in the centre of the cell. Cell plate represents middle lamella and is derived from golgi complex. The cell plate grows towards the periphery from centre and ultimately divides the cytoplasm forming two daughter cells.
