Solution

The correct option is D Anaphase II
In meiosis, two divisions occur after one round of DNA replication. The first division is reductional and homologous chromosomes separate during this division but the second division is equational as centromere splits during the second division. Sister chromatids move towards opposite poles in anaphase II of the second division.
So, the correct answer is option D.
