Your answer would be B

Explanation:

Meiosis is the production of sex cells which will always be genetically diverse, hence why their is always genetic diversity when it come to the offspring of sexual reproduction. Mitosis, however, will always produce identical cells because all the process is is duplicating DNA in one cell and getting it ready to become split off to become another.
