Solution

The correct option is D V shaped
In anaphase, a metacentric chromosome appears V-shaped. At anaphase of meiosis, each chromosome contains 1-DNA. At anaphase II, the remaining centromeric cohesin is cleaved allowing the sister chromatids to segregate. The sister chromatids by convention are now called sister chromosomes as they move toward opposing poles.
So, the correct answer is option C.
