The correct answer is D. Produce genetically different daughter cells.
Mitosis is the creation of genetically identical daughter cells, which occurs commonly for growth and development as well as replacement of damaged cells. Because mitosis occurs in the somatic or body cells, it creates no genetic diversity with its offspring. Meiosis, which is the formation of gametes in the ovaries and testes, produces genetic diversity and is what makes all human beings have different traits.
Hope this helps!
