Solution

The correct option is D Mitotic
Cleavage is the process of development of a multi-cellular organism after the process of fertilization occurs. During cleavage, a series of mitotic divisions occur, wherein various mitotic stages like 2-cell, 4-cell, 8-cell and 16-cell stages are reached. Such doubling mitotic cell divisions are also known as cleavage divisions.
Thus, the correct answer is 'Mitotic'.
