The right option is; a. mitosis

Mitosis is the part of the cell cycle in which the replicated chromosomes (genetic material) within the parent’s cell nucleus is separated into two daughter cells that are genetically identical to the parent. Mitosis involves growth and the replacement of damaged cells. Mitosis is divided into five stages which are; interphase, prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase (cytokinesis).
