Solution

The correct option is C
Gametogenesis

Mitosis is a type of cell division that takes place in somatic cells. Mitosis promotes growth, replaces old cells and helps in the repair of worn out tissues. Whereas, production of gametes (gametogenesis) is due to meiosis. It consists of two stages- they are meiosis I and meiosis II.
