Answer: Option C
Solution(By Examveda Team)
Chromosomes are best seen in metaphase.Chromosomes are threadlike structures made of protein and a single molecule of DNA that serve to carry the genomic information from cell to cell.
Metaphase is a stage of mitosis in the eukaryotic cell cycle in which chromosomes are at their condensed and coiled stage.
These chromosomes, carrying genetic information, align in the equator of the cell before being separated into each of the two daughter cells, thus chromosomes are visible in this stage.
