During a normal mitotic cell division, a parent cell having four chromosomes will produce two daughter cells, each containing four chromosomes. The correct answer is B.

Answer;

B) four chromosomes

Explanation;

-Mitosis is a type of cell division that involves nuclear division in eukaryotic cells and occurs when a parent cell divides to produce two identical daughter cells.

-Mitotic cell division produces two daughter cells that are genetically identical to each other, and to the parental cell. Thus, a diploid cell, 2n, (contains two sets of chromosomes), yields two daughter cells that are also diploid.

-For example, in human beings, mitosis takes place in the somatic cells where a parent cell with 46 chromosomes produces two daughter cells each with 46 chromosomes.
