Answer:

Option B

Explanation:

Suppose if number of chromosomes is represented by "n"

Then, the total number of chromosomes in a haploid cell is "n"

and the number of chromosomes in a diploid cell is two times the number of chromosomes in haploid cell i.e "2n"

Normal body cells are diploid therefore they have 2n chromosomes

Here 2n is equal to 40 . Therefore, n will be equal to 20

Sex cells are haploid and hence they will have n number of chromosomes i.e 20

hence, option B is correct
