▶️ Answer/Explanation
Mitosis is a type of cell division that results in two daughter cells each having the same number and kind of chromosomes as the parent nucleus. In the original diagram, the parent cell contains exactly $8$ chromosomes of specific shapes and sizes. Since mitosis maintains the chromosome number (genetically identical), the correct daughter cell must also contain $8$ chromosomes that match the original set. Diagram C is the only option that maintains this diploid count of $8$ and the correct morphology. Options A, B, and D are incorrect as they show a reduced number of chromosomes, which would be characteristic of meiosis or an error in division.
