D

Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the difference between diploid and haploid cells: diploid cells have two sets of chromosomes (2n), while haploid cells have one set (n).
Recall that the process which reduces the chromosome number by half to produce haploid cells from diploid cells is essential for sexual reproduction.
Review the four options: Fertilization, DNA replication, Meiosis, and Mitosis, and consider their roles in the cell cycle and reproduction.
Recognize that fertilization is the fusion of haploid gametes to restore diploid number, and DNA replication duplicates chromosomes without changing ploidy.
Identify meiosis as the specialized cell division process that reduces chromosome number from diploid to haploid, producing gametes.
