the answer is D, but you have to be careful. Plants and fungi often have something called alternation of generations, where they alternate from haploid to diploid every generation. Also, many plants have polyploidy, where they have more than two sets of chrosomes, and are hence tetraploid, octaploid, etc.
Somatic cells are all cells in an organisms which are not gametes. Gametes are basically the sex cells, such as eggs or spematozon. In animals, somatic cells always have two sets of chrosomes,s o they are diploid. Gametes only have one, so they are haploid.

answer's d cuz somatic cells aka body cells are diploid cuz if a somatic cell divides it has the exact same number of chromosomes as it started with, meaning 46...gametes on the other hand are haploid cuz a human being has 46 chromosomes, half from the mother and half from the father..so gametes...being either an egg or sperm have to have a haploid number of chromosomes so that when egg and sperm join: 23+23 u get a total of 46..same goes for other organisms...same number for division of somatic cells..half the number for gametes

d
I'm pretty sure gamete-haploid, and somatic is diploid. Gametes are sex cells, somatic cells are body cells. I think...yeah, I'm pretty sure that there are 23 chromosomes in a gamete cell, because they pair with another cell, giving a baby 46 chromosomes.

i think it might be B for somatic cells and C for gametse.
