Answer: b. haploid cells are produced.

Explanation: Meiosis is a process in which single cell divides twice by cell division and give rise to four haploid daughter cells. Daughter cells contain genetic information.

Daughter cells are haploid , means they contain half the number of chromosomes from their parent cell. Parent cell is diploid.
