Solution
The correct option is C Attachment of spindle fibres to chromosomes Spindle fibres attach to kinetochores of chromosomes during metaphase. Spindle fibres are composed of microtubules that help to separate the chromosomes.
During anaphase, the centromere splits to separate the sister chromatids and daughter chromosomes move to opposite poles. During anaphase, chromosomes assume various shapes and resemble the alphabets v, j, l and i.
