Solution

The correct option is C Over all changes occurring in nucleus during the cell division
Karyokinesis is also called direct nuclear division, because the nucleus passes through a series of uninterrupted changes before forming two daughter nuclei. Though, karyokinesis is a continuous process, it has been divided into four phases for the sake of convenience. They are prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase.
Therefore, the correct answer is option D.
