Solution
Prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase
Explanation:
In mitosis, the stages occur in the following sequence:
Prophase → Metaphase → Anaphase → Telophase Option (b) correctly lists the stages of mitosis in the correct sequence, starting with prophase, followed by metaphase, anaphase and ending with telophase.
