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.
So, the correct answer is option B.
