Solution

The correct option is D 4
  • Meiosis is the process of nuclear division that takes place in reproductive cells.
  • The daughter nuclei formed by this process contain only half the number of chromosomes present in the parent nucleus.
  • The meiotic division consists of two successive divisions of the cell and as such in one complete meiotic division four cells are formed.
    Thus option D is the correct answer.
