The chromosomes in which centromere is situated close to one end are
metacentric
acrocentric
telocentric
telocentric
B.
acrocentric
Acrocentric chromosome has centrosome, which is situated almost closed to an end.
There are 4 types of chromosomes according to location of centromere on chromosome (chromatid arms) as
1. Metacentric X-shaped chromosomes with centromere exactly at the middle of two arms
Chromosomes 1 and 3 are metacentric.
2. Acrocentric When one arm is short and centromere is inner to telomere. It is hard to observe short arm but still it is present.
Chromosome 13, 14, 15, 21 and 22 are acrocentric.
3. Submetacentric: Centromere is sub median, so Arm's length are unequal but observable. Chromosomes 4 and 12 are submetacentric.
4. Telocentric: When centromere is located at the terminal end of the chromatid arm.
Human do not possess telocentric chromosome.
