The answer is 20. Duplicated chromosome has two sister chromatids, identical copies of the chromosome. These two chromatids are joined at the region called centromere. Therefore, one duplicated chromosome has one centromere and two sister chromatids. If there are 20 duplicated chromosomes in a cell, there will be 20 centromeres.
Here is the way I think about it: before S phase, a typical human cell contains 46 chromosomes. During S phase, all 46 chromosomes are replicated. Because they are identical copies, it is perfectly fine to say that there are now 92 (46 + 46) chromosomes in the cell. However, the term 'chromatid' is used to describe them until cell division is complete. In other words: a chromatid is just what we a call a chromosome during cell division.
