Solution

The correct option is D

Metaphase


Metaphase is the second stage of mitosis— The chromosomes reach their maximum level of condensation during this phase. The chromosomes are lined up in the middle of the spindle apparatus. So it is easier to count the chromosomes during metaphase than in any other phase of the cell cycle.
