Alright if this works the same way it does with humans (i'm almost totally sure it does but just in case) the answer is: the zygote has 56 chromosomes, 28 inherited from the mother and 28 from the father.

Answer:

The correct answer is option C, The zygote has 56 chromosomes, 28 inherited from the mother and 28 from the father.

Explanation:

Elephant is a mammal just like human beings and the process of cell division is pretty much similar in both the types of species. In humans an offspring has 46 chromosome , 23 donated by mother and the rest 23 donated by father thereby producing a diploid cell. In the same way in an elephant,  of the total chromosome number in the offspring cell, equal contribution shall be from both the parents.
