Correct Answer
D Mitosis before meiosis
Correct Answer

Option C is the correct answer.

Sexual reproduction involves the formation of haploid gametes through meiosis. The fusion of gametes (fertilization) restores the diploid number. The resulting zygote then undergoes mitotic divisions to develop into an organism. So, meiosis is involved at some stages.

Hint

What type of cell division is responsible for producing gametes?
