Solution

The correct option is A Formation of cleavage furrow during cell division
Animal cell cleavage furrow formation is caused by a ring of actin microfilaments called the contractile ring, which forms during early anaphase. Cleavage is driven by these motor proteins, actin and myosin, which are the same proteins involved with muscle contraction. Hence the correct answer is (C)
