I gave my students this multiple choice question: What role does the centromere play in cellular reproduction?

Only one answer is correct among these 4 choices:
- It is the area where microtubules are formed.
- It is the area where the nucleus is during cell division.
- It is the area of alignment for the chromosomes.
- It is the area of attachment for chromatids.

Could you tell me which one is correct?
