Answer:

The correct answer would be the last option.

Mitosis is a type of cell division in which a parent cell divides to produce two daughter cells, each containing the identical genetic content as that of the parent cell.

It is mainly used in the growth and repair of the body. For example, zygote divides through mitotic divisions in order to produce all the cells of the embryo.

In contrast, meiosis is a type of cell division in which a single parent cell divides to produce four daughter cells. Each daughter cell contains exactly half the chromosomes of the parent cell.

It is mainly used in the production of the gametes such as sperm in males and eggs in females.
