Answer:

C. The Z ring forms after chromosome segregation

Explanation:

Nucleoid occlusion, NO, is a mechanism in which the nucleoid prevents the the division of the chromosome in the cell's cylindrical part before segregation of the chromosome around the middle of the cell

NO is achieved by not allowing the formation of Z ring formation close to the nucleoid, (before the chromosome is segregated) thereby aiding the specification of the septation location

Therefore, the Z ring is formed after the chromosome is segregated
