Correct Answer: Meiosis
Solution : The correct option is Meiosis.
Meiosis is a specialised type of cell division that reduces the chromosome number by half, resulting in the formation of haploid cells, which are essential for sexual reproduction. This reduction in chromosome number is crucial for maintaining the species' diploid number during fertilisation.
Meiosis introduces genetic diversity through a process called recombination (or crossing-over).
