Solution

The correct option is C Metaphase
Chromosomes are the shortest and thickest during metaphase. It is the stage in which nuclear envelope disappears completely so that nucleoplasm comes in contact with cytoplasm. Chromosomes are arranged at the equator and form a sort of metaphasic plate.
So, the correct answer is option B.
