Answer:

C. Mitosis

Step-by-step explanation:

Mitosis is a type of cell division in which a single parent cell is divided into two identical daughter cells. In mitosis, the parent cell is diploid i. e. double number of chromosomes. When replication of chromosome occurs, two identical copies of chromosome are made which is distributed to each daughter cell so the daughter cells are also diploid.

This type of cell division occurs in somatic cells or body cells which helps in the growth and repairing of the body.
