Solution

The correct option is C Anaphase
In anaphase, there is a shortening of the spindle microtubules. Each chromosome is pulled along by its centromere the two sister chromatids of each chromosome are pulled apart by the spindle and dragged by their kinetochores toward opposite poles of the cell. Thus the correct answer is option B.
