Solution

The correct option is B Late prophase
During karyokinesis the nuclear membrane disappears. Nuclear membrane starts disappearing at the start of mitosis and by the late prophase it disappears completely along with the major cell organelles. The nuclear membrane disappears presumably to allow more space for karyokinesis and proper separation of chromatids.
