Answer:

Option C, Wire mesh prevents rocks from sliding down the slope and onto the train track

Explanation:

Wire mesh is used as a barrier to the rock fall. Usually while working in mountainous or hilly regions,  use of heavy equipment’s and machine in construction activities produces seismic vibrations which can easily destabilize the rock slides in the mountainous regions. The detestable rocks tend to move downward. In order to prevent these rocks or rock slides from falling on to the clear site of highway/railway and also to keep the working man force safe from any sort of causality wire mesh are used to restrict the falling debris and rocks.

The correct answer would be c. Wire mesh prevents rocks from sliding down the slope and onto the train track as it would interfere with the train.

gizmo_the_mogwai [7]
Mitosis is a type of cell division that takes place in the somatic cells where two daughter cells are formed with the same number of chromosomes as the parent (diploid 2n). Meiosis is a type of cell division that takes place in the sex cells where four daughter cells are formed with half the number of chromosomes as the parent (haploid, n). In this case, if the gametes were formed by mitosis then it means they would have a diploid (2n) number of chromosomes.
