    The following statement that justifies that meiosis is reduction division is

    C. Meiosis begins with a diploid cell but produces four haploid cells. Reduction division is the first cell division in meiosis. It is the process by which germ cells are formed. It is also called first meiotic division. Reduction division occurs in the following way - the parent cell contains replicated chromosomes and the four daughter cells contain unreplicated chromosomes. In this case, the daughter cells are not identical to the parent cells. However in the case of mitosis, the daughter cells are identical to the parent cell.
