Solution

The correct option is B
Metaphase

In mitosis, a parent cell divides to form two daughter cells. It occurs in all eukaryotic cells. It has four stages prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase.

During metaphase chromosomes get arrange at the equator and chromosomal fibres get attached to the each of the chromosomes.
