A) cell plate; contractile ring
B) contractile ring; cell plate
C) cleavage furrow; contractile ring
D) contractile ring; cleavage furrow

Cytoplasm Divides
The process during cell division where the cytoplasm of a parent cell is split and distributed into two new daughter cells.
Contractile Ring
A structure made of actin filaments that constricts the cytoplasm during cell division, leading to cytokinesis.
Cell Plate
Of plants, disk-shaped structure that forms and partitions descendant cells during cytokinesis.

Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
In animal cells, the cytoplasm divides by the formation of a contractile ring, leading to the creation of a cleavage furrow. In plant cells, a cell plate forms between the divided nuclei, eventually leading to the separation of the two daughter cells.
