Answer: The correct answer is  23 from the mother and 23 from the father.

A child inherits 50% of the genetic material from each parent. Human beings are diploid organisms as pair of each chromosome is present in their cells ( except sex chromosome in males). They contain 46 chromosomes.

For reproduction, gametogenesis takes place, during which sex cells ( sperms in males and egg in female) These cells are produced by the process of reductional cell divsion, which is called as meiosis. Thus, sex cells conatin 23 chromosomes.

Parents pass their chromosomes to child via these sex cells.

Thus, a child inherits 23 chromosomes from the mother and 23 chromosomes from the father.
