Sister chromatids separate and move apart along the spindle fibers. Each chromatid is now one individual chromosome.
A
Prophase
B
Metaphase
C
Anaphase
D
Telophase
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Anaphase. During anaphase, sister chromatids separate and the centromeres divide. The sister chromatids are pulled apart by the shortening of the spindle fibers. This is like reeling in a fish by shortening the fishing line.

Detailed explanation-2: -The sister chromatids are pairs of identical copies of DNA joined at a point called the centromere. During anaphase, each pair of chromosomes is separated into two identical, independent chromosomes. The chromosomes are separated by a structure called the mitotic spindle.
