Solution

The correct option is B Karyokinesis is not followed by cytokinesis
Generally, cell division is completed by cytokinesis in mitosis. However, the incomplete cytokinesis in certain cells can produce cells that are connected by intercellular bridges hence forming a syncytium. It is mass of cytoplasm with several nuclei within a single plasma membrane by one or more nuclear division where the karyokinesis is not followed by cytokinesis.

So, the correct answer is option C.
