Solution

The correct option is B Metaphase
Prophase is the first phase of mitosis, that separates the duplicates genetic material carried in the nucleus of the parent cell into two identical daughter cells.
In metaphase, the spindle fibres are formed and get attached to the centromere of each chromosome.
In Anaphase the chromosomes move towards the opposite poles due to contraction of spindle fibre.
In telophase, daughter nuclei are formed/
So, the correct option is 'Metaphase'.
