Metaphase is followed by the next phase of mitosis called

Anaphase
Prophase
Interphase
Anaphase

The correct answer is Anaphase.

Metaphase is followed by anaphase, which is the third stage of mitosis. During anaphase, the spindle fibers shorten, pulling the chromosomes apart to opposite poles of the cell. The chromosomes are now fully separated into two identical sets.

Prophase is the first stage of mitosis. During prophase, the chromosomes condense and become visible. The nuclear envelope breaks down, and the spindle fibers form.

Interphase is the period between cell divisions. During interphase, the cell grows and replicates its DNA.

Telophase is the fourth and final stage of mitosis. During telophase, the chromosomes decondense and return to their interphase state. The nuclear envelope reforms, and the spindle fibers disappear. The cell then divides into two daughter cells.
