Answer

B. Four<br /><br />Meiosis is a two-stage cell division process that reduces the chromosome number by half, resulting in four haploid cells. Meiosis I separates homologous chromosomes, and Meiosis II separates sister chromatids. Therefore, starting with a single diploid cell, Meiosis I produces two haploid cells, and then Meiosis II divides each of those cells again, resulting in a total of four haploid cells.<br />
