Answer:

B.) To produce diploid cells

Step-by-step explanation:

The answer is B because mitosis works by duplicating each chromosome and dividing the copies evenly across the two sides of the cell. As a result, when a cell divides down the middle, each new cell receives its own copy of each chromosome, therefore producing diploid cells.

I hope this helps! ^-^
