Solution

The correct option is C Prophase: chromosomes are in the duplicated state

Prophase is the first phase of both mitosis and meiosis. Beginning after interphase, DNA has already been replicated when the cell enters prophase .so chromosomes are in the duplicated state during prophase. It is the process that separates the duplicated genetic material carried in the nucleus of a parent cell into two identical daughter cells. During prophase, the complex of DNA and proteins contained in the nucleus, known as chromatin, condenses.

So, the correct answer is 'C'
