Solution

The correct option is B Anaphase II
During anaphase II, centromere of each chromosome divides into two. This separates the two homologous chromosomes into two independent daughter chromosomes. Each daughter chromosome is attached to spindle pole of its side by a spindle fiber, which contracts, thus, pulling the chromosome towards the spindle poles. Thus, the correct answer is option B.
