The daughter cells are produced with only half the chromosomes of the parent cell. The correct option among all the options given in the question is option "D". So the main goal of meiosis is actually creating four daughter cells that are by no means similar to the parent cells.

When these daughter cells that
are created combine together and undergo the process of fertilization, then a
zygote is formed and the development of cells starts. The process of meiosis
can be asexual as well as sexual.

The answer is D because Meiosis is used to produce gametes. Reduction of the chromosome number from diploid to haploid is primary goal of Meiosis so daughter cells are produced with only half of the chromosome of the parent cell.
