Answer
(a) Telophase.
TELOPHASE is the last stage of mitosis, and it essentially reverses prophase: the spindle fibres DISAPPEAR, the chromosomes uncoil and lengthen, the nuclear membrane re-forms around each set, and the nucleolus reappears.
Track the spindle through the whole division and the answer is obvious: PROPHASE — spindle fibres begin to FORM METAPHASE — chromosomes attach to the fibres at the equator ANAPHASE — the fibres CONTRACT, pulling the chromatids apart to opposite poles TELOPHASE — their work done, the fibres DISAPPEAR
A way to remember the order: I Pass My Anatomy Test — Interphase, Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase.
