Solution

The correct option is A Karyokinesis is not followed by cytokinesis.
Free nuclear division occurs in coconut, in which nuclear division (karyokinesis) is not followed by cell wall formation and cell division (cytokinesis). So, the correct option is 'Karyokinesis is not followed by cytokinesis'.
