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.
