Answer»

The correct answer is (a) MITOSIS

The best explanation: Mitosis results in the equal DIVISION of the chromosomal CONTENT of the cell. Hence it is also called equational division. The mitosis results in the production of two daughter CELLS from one parent cell with the exact chromosomal content as in the parent cell. This is ensured by a duplication event in the synthesis PHASE prior to the mitosis phase.
