YEAH @MYSCHOOL..mitotic stage(IPMAT)-interphase-prophase-metaphase-anaphase-TELOPHASE..please rectify..

I also go with telophase bcos d questions says COMPLETELELY.. At anaphase, d daughter cells only separate towards d two poles respectively but are nt separated completely.

The correct answer is:
C. Anaphase
Explanation:
Mitosis consists of different stages:
Prophase (Early & Late) – Chromosomes condense, and spindle fibers begin to form.
(No separation yet)
Metaphase – Chromosomes align at the equator of the cell.
(Still attached)
Anaphase – The sister chromatids (daughter chromosomes) separate completely and move toward opposite poles. 
Telophase – The chromosomes reach the poles, and nuclear membranes start to reform.
(Already separated in anaphase)
Thus, the two daughter chromosomes separate completely in anaphase.

myschool is correct because ANAPHASE is when the "chromosomes" separate but TELOPHASE is when the "daughter cells" separate
