Solution

The correct option is D Anaphase
During Anaphase the centromere of each chromosome is divided into two parts. In this way, each chromosome is divided into two chromatids or two daughter chromosomes. Both the chromatids of each chromosome begin to move towards the opposite pole. Thus option D is the correct answer.
