Solution
The correct option is A Euchromatin
During the interphase stage of cell division, the chromatin fibres in the nucleus is least condensed and appear loosely distributed throughout the nucleus.
Euchromatin is the lightly stained region of chromatin and contains relatively more DNA.
This region is under active transcription during the interphase.
