Answer:

B , D

Step-by-step explanation:

Meiosis is a cell division method through which four daughter cells are formed out of one parent cell.

Also the number of chromosomes in daughter cell is just the half of chromosome number in parent cell. It is so because the DNA replicates only once while the cell divides twice.

Therefore, haploid cell are produced from diploid parent cells.

Therefore, Out of all the given options the correct one are option B and D are correct
