A) a haploid animal cell
Meiosis is a type of cell division that produces four genetically unique daughter cells from a single parent cell. The resulting cells have half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell, and are therefore called haploid cells. In animals, these cells are used in the production of gametes, such as eggs and sperm, which fuse during fertilization to produce a diploid zygote.
Diploid cells, which have two sets of chromosomes, can also be produced through meiosis, but this is not the only type of cell that can be produced through this process. For example, a diploid plant cell could be produced through mitosis, which is a different type of cell division that produces genetically identical daughter cells.
