Solution

The correct option is C 8
Mitosis is a process where a single cell divides into two identical daughter cells (cell division). Therefore, the number of cells formed after 'n' number of cycles will be 2n.
Thus, after 8 mitotic cell division, a number of cells formed will be 28 = 256.
So, the correct answer is option D.
