Solution

The correct option is C Colchicine
Colchicine is an alkaloid obtained from the corms of Autumn crocus. It inhibits microtubule polymerization by binding to tubulin. Tubulin availability is essential for mitosis to occur, therefore colchicine effectively functions as a mitotic poison or spindle poison.
So, the correct answer is 'Colchicine'.
