Solution

The correct option is C
Meiosis

Meiosis is the process of division of germ cells to produce haploid gametes. In this type of cell division, the chromosome number gets reduced to half in the daughter cells, thereby producing haploid gametes. This is a type of cell division by which an egg cell or ovum in females and a sperm cell in males are produced.
