Solution

The correct option is B Anaphase
In anaphase, the centromeres of chromosomes start to divide into two, forming daughter chromosomes with centromere in each. Daughter chromosomes are repulsive so they migrate toward opposite poles. Spindle fibres attached to the centromeres shorten and pull the chromosomes to the poles.
So, the correct answer is 'Anaphase'.
