Solution

The correct option is A Separation of chromatids
In meiosis II, the chromosomes line up and sister chromatids are pulled to the opposite poles resulting in the formation of a total of four haploid cells. This pulling apart of sister chromatids is called disjunction and occurs during anaphase II of meiosis II.
Thus the correct answer is option A.
