    Option D

    Explanation:

    The species probably has a small genome that is made up just two linear chromosomes such as that seen in the Jack jumper ant genome. It containing exactly two linear chromosomes could be a single pair of homologous chromosomes thus maybe indicating the cell is probably diploid but this is not enough to conclude on the ploidy.
