Answer 2

Which one do you think is most likely to be the answer?
Do you know what any of those three terms means?

Answer 3

So they are describing where the centromere is located in the chromosome.

- Metacentric, means it is right in the middle.
- Submetacentric means right below the middle.
And telocentric means right at the end.

And now telocentirc chromosomes do not have two arms because the centromere is located at the end of the chromosome.

Therefore the answer should be:
c)only telocentric chromosomes! :-]
