Explanation:

Mitosis metaphase is defined by chromosomes (each with two sister chromatids) aligning at the cell's equator. Diagram 1 shows chromosomes lined up at the middle, matching this key feature. Other diagrams do not: 2 has paired homologous chromosomes (meiosis), 3/4/5 show different stages (e.g., cytokinesis, interphase).
