Solution

The correct option is C
karyokinesis

Division of the nucleus during cell division is called karyokinesis and is followed by cytokinesis which is the division of the cell cytoplasm. Both karyokinesis and cytokinesis are parts of the cell cycle. Karyokinesis occurs in all four stages- prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase. Whereas cytokinesis takes place in anaphase and telophase of the cell cycle.
