Options
A The production of antibodies from B-lymphocyte memory cells
B The production of cancerous tissue in alveoli
C The production of gametes
Correct Answer
D The production of root hairs
Correct Answer

Option C is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

The production of gametes (sperm and eggs) involves meiosis, not only mitosis. The other options (antibody-producing cells, cancerous tissue, root hairs) all involve mitotic cell division for growth and proliferation.

Hint

One of these processes requires halving the chromosome number.
