Solution

The correct option is C Anaphase
Anaphase is the shortest phase of mitosis. In anaphase, the sister chromatids are pulled apart to opposite ends of the cell. In metaphase, chromosomes line up along the metaphase plate. Metaphase takes a short amount of time to complete. Telophase is the next to the shortest phase of mitosis after anaphase.
