prophase
B
metaphase
C
anaphase
D

Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -During prophase, the complex of DNA and proteins contained in the nucleus, known as chromatin, condenses. The chromatin coils and becomes increasingly compact, resulting in the formation of visible chromosomes.

Detailed explanation-2: -Chromosomes become visible during prophase. Chromatin is in its least condensed stage during the interphase stage. It begins its condensation during the prophase stage and is visible until the end of cell division. Q.

Detailed explanation-3: -During prophase, the chromosomes in a cell’s nucleus condense to the point that they can be viewed using a light microscope.

Detailed explanation-4: -So, the correct answer is ‘Nuclear membrane and nucleolus’.
