Answer:

A. meiosis.

Explanation:

Meiosis is one of the two major types of cell divisions in living organisms. Meiosis is the process by which four daughter cells that are genetically different from the parent cell are produced. Meiotic process is carried out solely during sexual reproduction to yield gametes or sex cells.

The gametes have their chromosomal number reduced by half during the process. However, one immense importance of meiosis is that it PROMOTES GENETIC DIVERSITY. A process called crossing over, which is the exchange of chromosomal segment between non sister chromatids, makes this possible.
