Solution

The correct option is C Tetraploid cell
Chromosomal complement (genomic content) of cells in G2 consists of one set of 46 chromosomes with duplicated DNA (DNA content: 4N or 4C). In the diploid nucleus with replicated DNA, each chromosome have two chromatids resulting in “mitotic” tetraploidy. Thereby the number of chromosomes remain the same as the parent cell.
