Answer:
The correct answer would be (c)[m phase].
M phase or mitotic phase is the phase of the cell cycle in which the actual division of chromosomes (karyokinesis) into two daughter nuclei takes place.
It can be divided into four stages namely prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase.
During anaphase, the sister chromatids of each replicated chromosomes are separated from each other and are pulled in opposite side with the help of mitotic spindle.
Then during telophase (last stage of M phase), the separated chromosomes reach either pole of a dividing cell. In addition, nuclear membranes are reformed around each chromosome set which forms the two daughter nuclei.
M phase is followed by cytokinesis which divides the cytoplasm, cell organelles, cell membrane, and two daughter nuclei into two daughter cells.
Note: Chromosome duplication or replication takes place in S phase while the division of the replicated chromosomes takes place in M phase.
