The correct statement would be option C. Both of these are gametes and or sex cells, and are produced during the process of meiosis. Since meiosis tends to reduce the number of chromosomes present in producing the gametes, so that upon fusion we can obtain a correct diploid or other polyploid organism. This is why it is produced via meiosis.
