Answer:

Mitosis is the sort of cell division depicted by the processes in C and D.

Step-by-step explanation:

A short explanation of what Mitosis is: The division of vegetative cells, which culminates in the formation of two genetically identical but independently functioning daughter cells.

Sister chromatids separate into opposing poles during mitosis in anaphase, and each group of chromatids forms the genetic materials for daughter cells that will become independent when the parent cell undergoes cytokinesis or cytoplasm division.

Diagram:

The letter C in the illustration represents the mitotic metaphase when chromosomes congregate in the center of the cell and are connected by spindle fibers.

D is the anaphase in which sister chromatids are separated and begin to move to oppose poles due to spindle fiber contraction.
