Solution

The correct answer is E. B and C.

During Anaphase II of meiosis and Anaphase of mitosis, the chromosomes divide at the centromere.

In Anaphase I of meiosis, the homologous chromosomes separate but the sister chromatids (the two identical copies of a chromosome that are joined at the centromere) do not separate. This is why option A is not correct.

In Anaphase II of meiosis and Anaphase of mitosis, the sister chromatids separate, meaning the chromosomes divide at the centromere. This is why options B and C are correct.

Therefore, the most complete answer is E. B and C.
