Solution

The correct option is D chromosomes
During the interphase of the cell cycle, thin thread-like structures called chromatin fibres are present inside the cell. When the cell is about to divide, the chromatin material gets condensed and organised into compact chromosomes. Condensing the DNA into tightly packed chromosomes makes the process of chromosome alignment and separation during cell division more efficient.
