Solution

The correct option is D Anaphase
During anaphase of mitosis, the chromosomes split and the sister chromatids of each chromosome move towards the opposite poles. The separation of chromatids begins at the kinetochore and the arms trail behind. Therefore, the chromosomes are pulled into V, L, J and I shapes based on the position of the kinetochore.
