telophase
B
anaphase
C
metaphase
D
prophase
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Telophase is the fifth and final phase of mitosis, the process that separates the duplicated genetic material carried in the nucleus of a parent cell into two identical daughter cells.

Detailed explanation-2: -During telophase, the newly separated chromosomes reach the mitotic spindle and a nuclear membrane forms around each set of chromosomes, thus creating two separate nuclei inside the same cell.

Detailed explanation-3: -Hence, the cell at telophase has two nuclei.

Detailed explanation-4: -Telophase I results in the production of two nonidentical daughter cells, each of which has half the number of chromosomes of the original parent cell.

Detailed explanation-5: -In telophase II, the cells divide, new cell walls are formed and there are four haploid cells. These four cells are called a tetrad. In telophase II, the cells divide, new cell walls are formed and there are four haploid cells. These four cells are called a tetrad.
