Which of the following best explains why meiosis results in greater genetic diversity than mitosis?

AAfter meiosis daughter cells are diploid and have twice as much material which can be divided into tons of possible combinations.
BAfter meiosis haploid daughter cells are fertilized which doubles their number of chromosomes and increases the possible number of genes.
CDuring meiosis chromosomes assort themselves independently of each other which allows for more different possible combinations of chromosomes.
DDuring meiosis more daughter cells are produced which increases the likelihood that fertilization will occur.
