The correct Answer is:
A
The arms of chromosome are known as chromatids. These arms are held together at a point called the centromere (or primary constriction). Centromere occurs any where along the length of chromosome. During cell division spindle fibres are attached to centromere and help in the movement of chromosomes towards the poles.
