The cells that are haploid are those that only have one inherited genetic load from their progenitors. In this case, only ovocytes, and sperm cells are haploids. In our bodies, all other kinds of cells that are not sex cells, like those of the hearth, of the liver, which are somatic cells, are diploid instead. The correct answer then is the second one, the b option.
