The correct answer is: Anaphase II
Anaphase II of meiosis II begins with the simultaneous splitting of the centromere of each chromosome (which was holding the sister chromatids together). This causes them to move towards opposite poles of the cell. During anaphase I of meiosis, there is no splitting of centromere.
