• Mitosis has four different stages known as prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase. Cytokinesis is a stage at which the cell furrow is being cut to form two identical daughter cells from the parent cell.
• Whereas, karyokinesis refers to the cell nucleus division during mitosis. It is usually followed by cytokinesis. Crossing over is a term used to refer to the exchange of genetic material between two homologous chromosomes.

So, the correct option is C
