Answer
A
two different daughter cells
B
four different daughter cells
C
two identical daughter cells
D
four identical daughter cells

Explanation

Meiosis involves two rounds of cell division after one round of DNA replication. It produces four daughter cells, each with half the original chromosome number; crossing over and the independent assortment of chromosomes make them genetically different. Therefore, the end result is four different daughter cells.
