    Answer:

    The correct answer is B 4 cells are formed,each having half the number of chromosomes as the original cell.

    Explanation:

    Meiosis is a specific type of cell division that occur in the germ cells.Meiosis is called reductional division because the 4 new cells those are produced after second meiotic division contain half the number of chromosomes as that of original cells.

       During meiosis a cell undergo division two times the division that occur during first time is called first meiotic division resulting in the formation of 2 cells having 2n number of chromosomes.On the other hand the second meiotic division form 4 cells each having half the number of chromosomes.
