Solution

The correct option is B
Chromosomes are arranged in the equatorial plane

The interphase though called the "resting phase" is the time during which the cell is preparing for division by undergoing both cell growth and DNA replication in an orderly manner. Interphase has 3 main phases - G1, S and G2 phase.

The chromosomes are arranged in the equatorial plane during the metaphase of cell division.
