Answer:

D. Four haploid daughter cells

Step-by-step explanation:

Meiosis is a process by which gametes/ sex cells reproduce. In meiosis, cell divides 2 times. The first division is called Meiosis I and second division is called Meiosis II. In meiosis, the genetic material is halved and the resulting daughter cells are haploid and contain 23 chromosomes.

In Meiosis I, diploid cell containing 46 chromosomes undergoes cell division to produce 2 haploid cells containing 23 chromosomes each. The homologous chromosomes separate in this division.

In Meiosis II, sister chromatids of daughter cells of Meiosis I are separated and as a result 4 haploid cells (containing 23 chromosomes each) are produced.

Coming back to the question,

D. four haploid daughter cells is the correct answer.
