Solution

The correct option is C 14, 14
$∙$ Meiosis occurs in two stages: meiosis I and meiosis II. During meiosis I, homologous chromosomes separate and the number of chromosomes in daughter cells get reduced to one half. This division is known as reduction division.
$∙$ During meiosis II, centromere splits and the chromosome number remains the same in the daughter cells and hence, meiosis II is known as equational division.
$∙$ If a cell has 28 chromosomes, then after meiosis I the daughter cells will have 14 chromosomes. While after meiosis II they will have 14 chromosomes as meiosis II is an equational division.
