Solution
The correct option is D Meiosis
In the gonads reductional division or meiosis takes place. This is because we only need half the amount of genetic material in the germ cells. The two germ cells then combine during fertilization and the amount of genetic material is restored in the zygote. This is done to maintain the chromosome number of a species.So the correct answer is ' Meiosis'.
