Solution

The correct options are
B Gives rise to two daughter cells
C Number of chromosomes remains the same
D It occurs in both haploid and diploid cells.
Mitosis is the division which produces two daughter cells with the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell. This process occurs in diploid cells (for repair and growth) as well as haploid cells (spores).
