Solution
The correct option is A Diploid
The chromosomal theory of inheritance proposed by Mendel states that there are genes which are passed on from one generation to the next in pairs. There are two alleles for a gene which are present on the homologous chromosomes. One of the alleles is obtained from the mother and the other allele is obtained from the father. These alleles represent the contrasting pair for the same character. When there are two homologous set of chromosomes, the cell is diploid. Thus, the correct answer is option B.
