The correct answer is **B. Chromosomes line up single file down the middle of the cell.**
During metaphase, the chromosomes are aligned at the metaphase plate (the equatorial plane of the cell) and are positioned for separation. Here's a brief overview of the other options:
- **A. Chromosomes separate from one another:** This occurs during anaphase, not metaphase.
- **C. Chromosomes become visible:** Chromosomes condense and become visible during prophase, before metaphase.
Therefore, the correct description of what happens during metaphase is option B.
