- AKinetochore
- BChromonema
- CTelomere
- DCentriole
Explanation
During cell division, spindle fibres (microtubules) attach to chromosomes at the kinetochore — the protein structure assembled on the centromere region of each chromatid. The chromonema is the coiled chromatin thread, the telomere caps the chromosome ends, and the centriole organises the spindle but is not the attachment site. Hence the attachment region is the kinetochore.
