    Answer;

    D) a cell that has one complete set of chromosomes.

    Explanation;

    During meiosis cells divide to give four daughter cells that have the number of chromosomes as the parent cell.

    The parent cell is a diploid; has two sets of chromosomes, and divides to give haploid daughter cells with a single set of chromosomes.

    This type of cell division is used to form gametes (eggs and the sperms).

    Haploid cell is defined as a cell which contains one complete set of chromosomes.

    therefore,

    During meiosis haploid cell has one complete set of chromosomes.

    hence the right option is D) a cell that has one complete set of chromosomes
