Cell division

The process of mitosis is the division of a somatic cell into two daughter cells with the same amount of genetic material as the original cell.

Therefore, if the original cell has 23 chromosomes, the two daughter cells obtained from a process of mitosis will also possess 23 chromosomes each.

Considering this information, the correct answer to this question is option C.23.
