Answer:Option C

Explanation:

During the process of meiosis haploid cells are formed. It is a different type of cell division in which the number of chromosomes is reduced by half.

This creates four haploid cells each of them is genetically distinct from the parent cell from which they originated.

When fertilization takes place the male and female gametes combine in order to produce a diploid body and the chromosome number is hence restored.
