Solution

The correct option is C Diploid cells in both

Formation of four unidentical daughter cells from a parent cell is called Meiosis or reductional division. In plants, it occurs in diploid spore mother cells and in animal cells, it occurs in diploid germinal cells.
So, the correct option is ‘diploid cell in both’.
