Solution
The correct option is B Late metaphase or early anaphase Division of centromere occurs in late metaphase or early anaphase. During late metaphase, a chromosome consists of two chromatids, joined together by the centromere, which is further separated during the anaphase due to contraction and relaxation of spindle fibers.
