Also, the meiosis produces genetically different cell as the meiosis I is marked with the crossing over events which produces different genetic combination in the cell. In the given question, since the cell divides with the mitosis therefore the daughter cells will be produced with the same type of genetic material.

Thus, the same type of daughter cells is correct.
