Solution
The correct option is C Meiosis I
Meiosis is the type of division by which gametes are produced. It involves two successive nuclear divisions and only one cytokinesis to produce 4 haploid daughter cells from a diploid cell. The first division of Meiosis(I) is the phase where the number of chromosomes is reduced to half that results in 2 haploid daughter cells. For this reason, Meiosis I is also referred to as reduction division. Next in, Meiosis II, which is also known as equational division, the DNA content is doubled like in mitosis, following which, 4 haploid gametes are produced.
