Solution

The correct option is D Submetacentric
'L' shaped chromosomes that appear during anaphase are sub-metacentric. According to the position of the centromere, the metacentric chromosomes are X shaped and due to the unequal length of the arms of the chromosomes, they become L shaped and are called sub-metacentric.
