Solution
The correct option is A Meiosis
There are two cellular divisions in meiotic division. Meiosis I is reductional division and meiosis II is equational division. Meiosis produces 4 haploid cells. Mitosis produces 2 diploid cells. Meiosis I reduces the ploidy level from 2n to n (reduction) while Meiosis II divides the remaining set of chromosomes in a mitosis-like process (division).
