Solution

The correct option is C Anaphase

Based on the key changes listed and the image given, this stage of mitosis is called anaphase. It is the third stage of cell division, during which the chromatids of the chromosomes separate and single chromatids each move to the opposite poles of the cell. During this stage, a minor constriction also starts to appear in the cell which will later get prominent and divide the cell into two daughter cells at the end of mitosis.
