check answer

Explanation:

Mitosis is a cell division process that results in two daughter cells, each having the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell (diploid, meaning two sets of chromosomes). Meiosis is a type of cell division that reduces the chromosome number by half, producing gametes (sex cells) that are haploid (having one set of chromosomes). So the correct pair is diploid for mitosis - produced cells and haploid for meiosis - produced cells.

Answer:

A. diploid; haploid
