A
Mother Cell
B
Daughter Cell
C
Sister Chromatids
D
Centromere
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In prophase of mitosis, specialized regions on centromeres called kinetochores attach chromosomes to spindle fibers. The centromere is the part of a chromosome that links sister chromatids . During mitosis, spindle fibers attach to the centromere via the kinetochore.

Detailed explanation-2: -They attach at a point called the kinetochore, which is a disk or protein that is on each side of the centromere. The spindle fibers will move the chromosomes until they are lined up at the spindle equator.

Detailed explanation-3: -Kinetochores on the spindle attach to the centromeres of sister chromatids.

Detailed explanation-4: -Chromatid During cell division, spindle fibers attach to the centromere and pull each of the sister chromatids to opposite sides of the cell.
