The presence of two nuclei with complete nuclear envelopes suggests that the cell is completing mitosis. The decondensing chromosomes and the pinched middle of the cell indicate that cytokinesis is occurring. Since the cell has completed division and is returning to a nondividing state, it must be in telophase.
