The answer appears as a continuous sentence in NCERT. This is that sentence.

How this line gives the answer

8, emb=1.0, combined=0.92). Verified: high — The span explicitly states that during metaphase, chromosomes are connected by their kinetochores to spindle fibers, which directly answers the question about when spindle fibers attach to kinetochores.
