A cell contains 8 chromosomes in its diploid state.When this cell undergoes meiosis, its daughter cells would contain:

Explanation

In meiosis, a diploid cell with 8 chromosomes undergoes two rounds of cell division to produce four haploid daughter cells, each containing 4 chromosomes. These chromosomes are genetically different due to processes like crossing over and independent assortment. This results in genetic diversity, which is essential for evolution and adaptation. Options A and C are incorrect as meiosis does not produce genetically identical cells. Option B is incorrect because it suggests the wrong number of chromosomes in the resulting cells.
