Answer:

B. 8

Step-by-step explanation:

In asexual reproduction, the offspring will be exact clones of the parents.

They will have the same chromosomes, and will also have the exact same chromosome number that the parent had.

So, in this situation, the offspring will also have 8 chromosomes.

The correct answer is B. 8
