The answer is the third one: Cytokinesis.

Explanation for each option:

  1. Segregation: This term generally refers to the separation of alleles during gamete formation in genetics, not the division of the cytoplasm.

  2. Microtubule shortening: This is a process involved in the movement of chromosomes during cell division, particularly during anaphase, but it does not refer to the division of the cytoplasm.

  3. Cytokinesis: This is the correct term for the process by which the cytoplasm of a cell divides into two daughter cells, typically occurring after mitosis or meiosis.

  4. Cytoplasmic streaming: This refers to the movement of the fluid substance (cytoplasm) within a plant or animal cell, which helps distribute nutrients and organelles, but it is not the process of cytoplasmic division.

In summary, the process by which the cytoplasm divides in two is called cytokinesis.
