Answer:

The correct answer would be A 23.

It is because human egg is a female gamete which is formed by meiotic division.

A meiotic division is reduction division which reduces the number of chromosomes to half in daughter cells or gametes.

Thus, if a skin cell or somatic cell contains 46 chromosomes then the egg or sperm (gametes) would contain only 23 chromosomes.
