Solution

The centromeres of the chromosomes are aligned towards the spindle axis pointing towards the pole and the arms(chromatids) are aligned to the equatorial plane.
So, the correct statement is 'In mitotic metaphase centromeres of chromosomes remain directed towards the poles and the arms of chromosomes remain directed towards the equatorial plane'
