Solution

The correct option is B Metaphase
During the cellular division phase, metaphase is a stage where all the chromosome arranges themselves on the metaphase plate.
On this equatorial plate, these are aligned and appear as two threaded chromosomes. These are attached to the pole by spindle fibre.
So, the correct option is 'Metaphase'
