Solution

The correct option is D Free nuclear division
  • Nuclear divisions that are not followed by cytokinesis are called free nuclear divisions which lead to coenocytic cell formation. A coenocyte is a multinucleate cell that can result from multiple nuclear divisions without their accompanying cytokinesis.
  • Cryptomitosis is a type of nuclear division in certain protozoa characterized by the formation of a modified achromatic spindle and by the absence of differentiated chromosomes.
  • Endomitosis is a division of chromosomes not followed by the nuclear division that results in an increased number of chromosomes in the cell.
  • Dinomitosis is a type of cellular division that solely occurs in the class Dinophyceae, a class of Alga with Chlorophyll c. The dinomitosis is special because the nuclear membrane never disappears.
So, the correct answer is option C.
