Answer:
Option D.
Explanation:
Cell division involves a process that leads to formation of two new daughter cells from a parent cell. It is divided into two different stages- interphase and M phase (mitotic phase for body cells).
During interphase, cells prepares itself for division and replicates its genetic material. During M phase, division of nucleus takes place along with separation of daughter chromosomes into two daughter nuclei.
The given diagrams represent different stages of mitosis, which are prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase. During prophase, nuclear membrane starts to disintegrate and chromosomes become compact.
During metaphase, condensed chromosomes get lined up at the center or metaphase plate and are held there by spindle fibers attached from kinetochore.
During anaphase, sister chromatids are pulled to opposite poles of the cell and are now known as daughter chromosomes.
During telophase, the nuclear membrane reappears as two new nuclear membranes, around daughter chromosomes, present at two different poles.
Thus, the images given in option (D) correctly shows the stages of cell division in a plant cell.
