Solution

The correct option is A X - Mitosis, Y - Meiosis
Mitosis and meiosis are two types of cell division.
Image A represents two identical daughter cells which are diploid. This type of cell division is mitosis.
Image B represents 4 haploid daughter cells after genetic recombination. This type of cell division is meiosis.
