During karyokinesis, the spindle fibres get attached to condensing chromosome at a highly differentiated region. This region is called as (A) chromomere (B) chromocentre (C) centriole (D) kinetochore

The key feature of metaphase is the attachment of spindle fibres to kinetochores of chromosomes. Kinetochores are disc-shaped structures at the surface of the centromeres.These structures serve as the sites of attachment of spindle fibres to the chromosomes that are moved toward poles.
