The answer is the last one (Telophase): the nuclear membrane reforms around the chromosomes.

Explanation for each option:

  • Early metaphase: Incorrect. During early metaphase, the nuclear membrane has already broken down, and the chromosomes are aligning at the metaphase plate.
  • Prophase: Incorrect. In prophase, the nuclear membrane begins to break down, and the chromosomes condense and become visible.
  • Anaphase: Incorrect. During anaphase, the sister chromatids are pulled apart to opposite poles of the cell.
  • Metaphase: Incorrect. In metaphase, the chromosomes are aligned at the metaphase plate, and the nuclear membrane is not present.
  • Telophase: Correct. During telophase, the nuclear membrane reforms around the separated chromosomes at each pole of the cell, leading to the formation of two distinct nuclei.

Summary: The nuclear membrane reforms around the chromosomes during telophase.
