They organize and pull the chromosomes apart.
Microtubules form the mitotic spindle during mitosis and meiosis, attaching to chromosomes at kinetochores and exerting forces that separate sister chromatids (or homologous chromosomes) to opposite poles. (Option 1 describes a general microtubule function but not their main role in cell division; options 2 and 3 are driven by actin/myosin and nuclear envelope reassembly, respectively.)
