Final Answer :
C
Explanation :
Chromosomes line up in the center of the cell during metaphase. In prophase, the chromosomes condense and become visible, in anaphase, the sister chromatids separate and move to opposite poles, and in telophase, a new nuclear envelope forms around the chromosomes. Interphase is not a stage of mitosis, but rather the period of the cell cycle between cell divisions.
