Mitosis produces diploid cells with two sets of chromosomes. So the correct option is B.
Why does mitosis produce diploid cells?
The process of a cell in which its chromosomes are replicated and segregated is called mitosis. This process divides the cell with each having an equal amount of genetic material and identical nuclei.
Mitosis has two steps - the first is karyokinesis which means the division of the nucleus and the second is cytokinesis which means the division of the whole cell. The result is the production of 2 daughter cells which are completely genetically identical to each other.
To give rise to an identical daughter cell, each chromosome is copied and each daughter cell receives one of the copies. The parent cell and the resulting daughter cells both remain diploid.
In contrast to this, meiosis produces haploid cells with one set of chromosomes. Meiosis is only performed by the gametes but mitosis is performed by the somatic cells of the body.
Therefore, the correct option is B.
