Sister chromatids are pulled apart during this phase of meiosis
A
Anaphase ll
B
Telophase ll
C
Metaphase l
D
Prophase l
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Figure 6: Anaphase II involves separation of the sister chromatids. During anaphase II, microtubules from each spindle attach to each sister chromatid at the kinetochore. The sister chromatids then separate, and the microtubules pull them to opposite poles of the cell.

Detailed explanation-2: -Anaphase II: During anaphase II, the centromere splits, freeing the sister chromatids from each other. At this point, spindle fibers begin to shorten, pulling the newly-separated sister chromatids towards opposite ends of the cell.

Detailed explanation-3: -The cells that enter meiosis II are the ones made in meiosis I. These cells are haploid-have just one chromosome from each homologue pair-but their chromosomes still consist of two sister chromatids. In meiosis II, the sister chromatids separate, making haploid cells with non-duplicated chromosomes.

Detailed explanation-4: -Anaphase II The sister chromatids are pulled apart by the kinetochore microtubules and move toward opposite poles. Non-kinetochore microtubules elongate the cell. Figure 1. The process of chromosome alignment differs between meiosis I and meiosis II.

Detailed explanation-5: -Anaphase II: The chromatids split at the centromere and migrate along the spindle fibers to opposite poles. Telophase II: The cells pinch in the center and divide again. The final outcome is four cells, each with half of the genetic material found in the original. In the case of males, each cell becomes a sperm.
