(C) satellite is a small chromosomal segment separated from the main body of the chromosome by a secondary constriction. Chromosomes that possess this structure are known as $SAT$-chromosomes. These are typically found in acrocentric chromosomes,where the secondary constriction is located near one end,resulting in a small knob-like structure called a satellite.

Match the following columns regarding chromosome types based on the position of the centromere:

Column-$I$ Column-$II$

$P$. Metacentric $I$. One arm shorter and one arm longer

$Q$. Sub-metacentric $II$. One arm extremely short and one arm extremely long

$R$. Acrocentric $III$. Terminal centromere

$S$. Telocentric $IV$. Middle centromere forming two equal arms
