Answer:

The correct option is Both Cell A&D.

Step-by-step explanation:

The diagram in the picture shows how a cell (A) undergoes the process of replication and produces a cell (B) containing one full set of double chromosomes.

Then, the cell undergoes the process of mitosis to produce two daughter cells (C & D).

Mitosis can be described as a method of asexual reproduction in which the daughter cells produced are identical to the parent cells and are also identical to each other. Hence, the genetic content of the cell C will be the same as the genetic content of cells A & D.
