Solution

The correct option is A

Chromosomes align along the equatorial plate in metaphase


During metaphase, which is the second stage of mitosis, the chromosomes, guided by the spindle fibres, line up in the middle of the dividing cell along the equatorial plate.
Anaphase is the third stage of cell division, between metaphase and telophase, during which the chromosomes move away from one another to opposite poles of the cell.
Telophase is the final phase of cell division which occurs between anaphase and interphase. During this phase, the chromatids or chromosomes move to opposite ends of the cell and two nuclei are formed.
During prophase, which is the first phase of mitosis, the nuclear envelope starts to dissociate into small vesicles. The membranous organelles (such as the Golgi apparatus and endoplasmic reticulum) fragment and disperse towards the periphery of the cell.
