The answer is C, 28. This is because in meiosis, sex cells must combine to form one new cell with 56 chromosomes during reproduction. Mitosis would have 56 chromosomes because it is the process that exactly replicates the cell.

Meiosis is sometimes called "reduction division" because it reduces the number of chromosomes to half the normal number so that when fusion of sperm and egg occurs, baby will have the correct number.
So your answer is 28
