Solution

The correct option is D Metaphase
In order to count the number of chromosomes, the onion root should be observed in the metaphase of the cell division. During metaphase, the chromosomes shorten and condense. During this phase, the shape of chromosomes are distinct and visible under the light microscope
So, the correct answer is 'Metaphase'
