Solution

The correct option is C Colchicine
Colchicine disrupts the normal sequence of a nuclear division and induces somatic doubling by inhibiting microtubule formation which in turn prevents the spindle formation. It is obtained from bulb-like corms of Colchicum, a perennial flowering plant.
So, the correct answer is option B.
