Diploid

Step-by-step explanation:

The ploidy of organisms that have two sets of chromosomes is called Diploid.

Ploidy is defined as the number of chromosomal sets present in an organism. i.e of homologs of chromosomes present in the cell. An organism which has two sets of chromosome is a diploid organism, whereas the organism which has three sets is called triploid, the organism with four sets is called tetraploid.
