Solution

The correct option is B Metacentric and telocentric
Metacentric chromosomes are X-shaped chromosomes and the centromere are present in the centre so that the two arms are equal.
A telocentric chromosome is a chromosome in which the centromere is located at the terminal end of the chromosome and their shape is similar to the letter i.
So, the correct answer is 'Metacentric and telocentric'.
