Why is it important for the daughter cells to divide a second time in meiosis?

The second division switches parts of matching chromatids to increase genetic variation.
The second division forms four identical cells to ensure that all offspring have the same
The second division sorts chromosomes into cells that are the same as the parent cells.
The second division forms haploid cells that can combine with other haploid cells during fertilization.
