Solution

The correct option is B Division of genetic material
Cell division is the process by which a parent cell divides to form two daughter cells. In the first step, the genetic material in the nucleus splits up into two. Then the nucleus divides into two parts. Both parts contain equal amount of genetic material. Then the cytoplasm divides into two parts. The last stage involves splitting up of the entire cell into two daughter cells.
