• A. Asexually reproducing diploid individuals
• B. Sexually reproducing haploid individuals
• C. Sexually reproducing diploid individuals
• D. All of the above
  

Answer 1

The correct option is A Asexually reproducing diploid individuals

Meiosis is the process by which one diploid eukaryotic cell divides to generate four haploid cells often called gametes. Meiosis is essential for sexual reproduction and therefore occurs in all eukaryotes that reproduce sexually. Meiosis does not occur in archaea or bacteria, which reproduce via asexual processes such as mitosis or binary fission.

So, the correct option is 'Asexually reproducing diploid individuals'.
