The correct option is B Form gametes
Meiosis, also known as reductional division, is a type of cell division in which the chromosome number reduces to half in the daughter cells. It can be observed in the cells of reproductive organs to form gametes. However, mitosis is an equational division which mainly helps in growth and repair of cells or tissues.
