Solution
The correct option is B Metaphase
Strasburger in 1884 defined a stage in the nuclear division as metaphase after the time when he mistakenly thought chromosomes had just divided into chromatids. It was later realized that chromosomes are already doubled before the nuclear division begins. However, the term "metaphase" has stuck.Metaphase chromosomes are often chosen for karyotyping and for chromosome analysis because they are arranged at equatorial plane and readily visible and are most condensed.
So, the correct answer is 'Metaphase'
