Solution
The correct option is C Meiosis
Mitosis produces two identical daughter cells. Hence it is called the equational division. Here a diploid parent cell doubles its DNA prior to mitosis to provide daughter cells with the required number of chromosomes. So, it is a type of somatic cell division. Mitosis is responsible for wear and tear of the body. It helps in repairing of cells. But meiosis happens only in gamete cells. Here four daughter cells are produced with half the number of chromosomes as that of the parent cell.So the correct answer is meiosis.
