Answer:

The correct answer will be option-C.

Explanation:

The cell division is the process which proceeds into two stages: karyokinesis (a division of the nucleus) and cytokinesis (a division of cytoplasmic content).

The karyokinesis proceeds through M-phase which divides the DNA of the cell into daughter cells maintaining their ploidy level. The daughter cells are produced from the diploid cells which produce diploid daughter cells.

After M-phases the cell undergoes cytokinesis that divides its cytoplasmic content into two daughter cells thorough division of the cell membrane.

Since two daughter cells are produced after the cytokinesis in cell division and not karyokinesis therefore, Option-C is the correct answer.
