Solution
The correct option is C Anaphase – II
Meisis II is initiated immediately after cytokinesis, usually before the chromosomes have fully elongated and it resembles mitosis.
Prophase II- The nuclear membrane disappears by the end of prophase II. The chromosomes again become compact.
Metaphase II-the chromosomes align at the equator and the microtubules from opposite poles of the spindle are attached to the kinetochores
Anaphase II - It begins with the simultaneous splitting of the centromere of each chromosome and allowing them to move toward opposite poles of the cell.
Telophase II- Meiosis ends with telophase II, in which the two groups of chromosomes once again get enclosed by a nuclear envelope.
