Answer:

Option C, Sperm cells

Step-by-step explanation:

The gamete cells i.e egg and sperm are produced by meiosis. Both egg and sperm are haploid cells. In meiosis cell division, a diploid cell (with 46 chromosome pairs) undergoes cell division through two stages thereby producing four haploid cells (with 23 chromosome pairs). While all growth cells (including the stem cells) are produced through the mitosis cell division

Hence, option C is correct.
