Mitosis is the process of cell division in which the parent cell divides into two daughter cells. In mitosis each daughter cell receives an exact copy of the chromosomes in the parent cell. The number of chromosomes in the parent and progeny cells is the same in mitosis. Mitosis is also called as equational division.
A cell with 42 chromosomes undergoes mitosis to produce two daughter cells each carrying 42 chromosomes.
So, the correct answer is 2.
Other options-
24-incorrect (one cell produces two daughter cells by mitosis )
42-incorrect ( one cell produces two daughter cells by mitosis )
4-incorrect ( one cell produces two daughter cells by mitosis, in meiosis 4 daughter cells are produced )
