Solution

The correct option is A Chromosomes
During cell division chromatin is condensed into thick cord like structures called as the chromosome. At this stage, the centromere (a point at which two sister chromatids of a chromosome are held together) is clearly visible. Each chromosome has two arms of the same length or of different lengths depending on the position of the centromere.
