Solution

The correct option is B Protein disc near centromere
  • The kinetochore is a disc-shaped protein complex associated with the centromere of a chromosome during cell division, to which the microtubules of the spindle attach.
  • It forms on a chromatid during cell division.
  • Hence Kinetochore is the protein disc near the centromere.
  • So, the correct answer is 'Protein disc near centromere'.
